Kenya Kabare Konyu

From the Kabare Farmers Society in the Kirinyaga region. This one tastes a little different from other Kenyas because it has a green grape, melon, green tea note to it and less acidity, and it also has flashes of honey and cherry. The large defect-free beans are the SL-28 and SL-34 varietals that the good Kenyas always are. It was processed at the Konyu Factory which is also the name of the river that runs through and its water is used for washing the coffee.

We found that roasting it about 25 seconds past the end of the 1st cracks was the sweet spot. It reminds me more like a really nice Tanzania or Malawi because of its sweetness and less acidity. It's a really nice mug of coffee but not your typical Kenya profile.
