Product Description

The ground coffee had such a potent mixture of smells. I picked up on a very nice raw honey note straight from the grinder, with a juicy scent of tangerine, and some rue herb (something I generally only pick up on in Ethiopian coffee). The wet aroma also had a well developed honey scent that was intoxicating, with layers of citrus accents that ranged from fresh squeezed juice, to orange fruit crumble with brown sugar and spice, and the sweetness has a floral aspect too that just puts it over the top. City roasts brim with bright fruit flavors, and a fairly resonant sweetness. You're left with a mingling of both aspects in the aftertaste too, which is not a bad thing at all! The cup had a flavor of dark steeped black tea with a fresh squeeze of lemon, and table sugar. It's a brisk, bright flavor profile, and one that opens up to other fruits and aromatic accents as it cools. Rose hips, jamaica tea, mandarin orange, rhubarb, and huckleberry were top notes that I jotted down when cupping. The acidity level is quite bright at City roast level, and even a little grabby. The aftertaste had some cardamom spice in the nose that played off the rest very well. This is a fantastic light roasted Kenya that makes an aromatic and bright pour over, or drip brew.
