This week we continue to fill out both our Central America and Africa lists with two great new coffees from El Salvador and Kenya. El Salvador Finca Siberia Bourbon is a nice, basic cup, with fruit pastry, nut tones, and a variety of chocolate correlating to roast level. Kenya Nyeri AB Kagumo-ini is a juicy cup, with a variety of red fruits, lemon, and citrus zest in the finish. We've been flying through Kenya and El Salvador coffees, so we're very pleased to have these nice, new additions. Both work great as SO espresso.
