Tasting notes

This is a unique offering of SL28SL28A Kenyan variety selected in the 1930s by Scott Agricultural Laboratories, prized for intense blackcurrant acidity and deep sweetness.—one of our favorite varieties typically only found in Kenya—cultivated in Costa Rican terroirTerroirBorrowed from wine: the way a place — soil, altitude, climate, even neighboring crops — expresses itself in the cup, independent of variety and process.. We are just now starting to see it being cultivated in other parts of the world. In the cup we find intense cranberry, ripe tomato, with a very lively pink grapefruit acidityAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it..
