Product Description

Toffee sweet smells are released after grinding Ngandu, as well as a sweet cherry smell thats more like a cherry flavored drink than the fruit itself. Fruit jam suggestions come through with a little more development. Sweet smells are spread thick in Ngandu's aroma, spanning a range of raw to caramelizing sugars, dried fruit, and deep cocoa roast tones. Red fruit notes are prevalent in the brewed coffee, offering more of the cherry alluded to in fragrance, along with raspberry juice, and dried mango. Ngandu has softer acidity than most of our Kenyas, but the flavors are clean and articulate, and the subtle lemon water mouthfeel adds a soft vibrance to the cup. I get a floral, retronasal response too in these light roasts, like an understated lilac aroma. Bittering cocoa flavors are tempered by sweet berry fruit, and a tropical aroma. Being that this isn't a super bright coffee, it's a great option for Kenyan espresso. This description is from the cupping notes of our coffee importer, Sweet Maria's
