Kenya Muranga Kangunu Peaberry

Kangunu Peaberry has a fair amount of fruit in the cup for wet process coffee, even when taking origin into consideration. The flavor profile pulls out dark fruits, which informs the acidic impression too, amidst a backdrop of rindy citrus and mild bittersweet notes. Aromatically speaking, the fruited elements come through more like raisin, dried date, with brown sugar and cinnamon. There's very nice clarity and sweetness in the brew, a dark sugar flavor lays the groundwork in the cup beneath an array of fruited accent notes. City roasts develop impressive level of sweetness that is accented by a flavor profile of peach, dried black currants, tangy lemon rind, and tamarind paste. Aromatic spice notes of whole cloves and mace wraps around from front to finish, adding to a fragrant hint to the sweetness. The acidity level scores highest in City and City+ roasts (no surprise really, it is Kenyan coffee after all!), slightly milder intensity than some of our other Kenya's, with tartaric berry and citric aspects to it. I loved the body and bittersweet notes of my Full City roast, accompanied by accents of fruit leather, and fig jam.
