Home Behmor 1600 roasted manually to get a textbook Full City Roast. Water 197F, 4 minute steep in large Espro Press with 75g of fresh coffee with the Baratza Encore.
Big bold and juicy citrus, accompanied with powerfully delicious aroma - I take my first sip and savor. This is going to be great. Pouring temperature into my cup is 195F into a very clean cup with no fines.
Dynamite introduction to a world of complexity, though deep and bold, there is an underlying sweetness present. Tart citrus brightness melts into a medley of dark cherry and ripe berries, a hint of vanilla - wow. Oh that bittersweet cocoa! What character right from the word go..
Huge body. Very pleasant, warming, and satisfying. Kenya AA is famous for this but this sample from Espresso Planet is special among all the Kenyas I have tasted. This one is a journey to unfold.
As the aroma changes in nuances, my clean cup cooling somewhat is potent euphoria. Did I say this Kenya AA is fantastic?! I need to breathe and assess a moment from the sensory offerings. That floral essence abounds, like after a warm springtime thunder shower. The heightening sensations of herbal notes are so many, and so difficult to put into words. After a rain of imagination it is so clear. The juicy palate is all about depth, bright citrus, gorgeous acidity, once again to treat me with a plethora of fresh herbs in a nice breeze.
Rich and majectic is exactly what one hopes for in Kenya AA. I am immersed in chocolaty finish with lingering dry red winey fruit. ike a frothy pool of cane sugar, toasted cinnamon, and oranges that end with that dark cherry. Superb.
Heavenly. Bet it cups into the mid-ninties score. This is first class African Coffea Arabica.
