flavor notes explained

chocolate - When we think of Kenyan coffees, we do not typically start with these notes.  However, this coffee stood out to have a a smooth milk chocolate note to showcase the sweetness from another angle.

brown sugar - A peaberry coffee will always showcase a developed sugar sweetness and this one is no slouch.  We used brown sugar to highlight the richness in the cup that paired well with the sweetness.

apple - Malic acidity is most easily described as acidity like apples not citrus.  This coffee has a sweet and pure malic acidity.
