Our second season buying from Kaguyu, following an AB lot in the 23/24 season. We think this year's AA is a stunner - real classic Kenya character, especially on the blackcurrant/tomato axis.
Lightest Roaster Influence: We're giving this one just a fraction more development than our other Kenyan lots - nothing that would tip it into the "Light" influence level, but just enough to really push those berry/cassis notes and slightly weightier body to the fore. Still a ripping fast roast, big dense well sorted beans can absolutely take it.
We're tasting: Classic Kenyan aromatics - we're getting currants, tomato vine and rhubarb on the nose; in the cup it's super red-fruit forward - ripe raspberry, mirabelle plum, blackberry and apple, alongside a hibiscus tartness and soft florality. As it cools, becoming a bit like cuore del vesuvio tomato and blood orange.
