Kenya Nyeri Karuthi AA

You get a pretty good sense of what to expect in the cup from the dry grounds. My City roast smelled bright with lively citrus notes, delicate accents, and clean raw sugars that make a moderate impact on the fragrance. Spice notes are closer to the front in the wet aroma, along with pronounced sugary sweetness. The steam is laced with perfumed hints of tea and fruits, with an orange note adding to the complex dimension. The brew at City roast shows brightly accented sweetness, with brisk flavors that bring out the very nice interplay between sweetness and acidity. Flavors of clean raw sugars come through in the light roast levels, and play off baking spice hints that comes up as the coffee cools. The mouthfeel is refreshing in a way, like brisk black tea with a spot of lemon juice. It has a refined quality, the finish clean and aromatic, with a fragrant note of orange spice tea. City+ roasts retain some of the citrus/juicy aspects, matched by a slightly more developed roast bittering core. Flavors like cranberry and lemon bring a dynamic side to the lower-toned shades of cocoa that hold on in the aftertaste. Very nice as pour-over brew and really lives up to the AA grade!
