This one has a distinct lime acidity and a hibiscus tartness and just general citrus flavor. Very crisp and clean and a lingering finish. A little bit of cherry tomato flavor at the end of it and hints of chocolate. It has all the layers of complexity, the bright acidity, and the full body that you would hope for from a high end Kenya.
For us, this is a light roast. I'm roasting it maybe 30 seconds past 1st cracks on a drum roaster. 404 degrees bean temp on our readout. It grabs your attention the whole way through the mug.
You lose complexity and pick up bitterness as a medium roast, but it does hold up adequately as a dark roast, I would give it 15 seconds into the rolling 2nd cracks if I wanted a sweet french roast.
