One of the best combinations of flavor

This has been one of the best so far for espresso, the flavors are not to fruit forward. Well balanced but also palatable flavor that separates at times.

This was great!

I brewed using a clever dripper and this was an amazing cup of coffee with doing any dialing in. Very fruity and sweet with nice texture.

Surprisingly good

I enjoy Kenyas. But this one was a pleasant surprise. Definitely getting the juiciness of apple, but leaning a bit more red apple for me. Subtly tart. Really nice.
