This blend opens with an inviting sweetness reminiscent of caramelized brown sugar and brûlée crust, immediately coating the palate with abundant body. The Burundi and Rwanda components provide a foundation of rich sweetness balanced by the Kenya's vibrant acidity, creating a dynamic cup that's both comforting and energizing.
The fruit notes are layered and evolving—expect bright citrus and red fruit tones from the Kenya to dance alongside the goji berry and pomegranate from the Burundi and Rwanda, creating a juicy, fruit-forward experience. Depending on your roast development, these can range from zesty and bright to deeper, darker berry notes.
Aromatic complexity defines the mid-palate, where fragrant baking spices and mulling spices interweave with elegant black tea notes touched with lemon. The dark cocoa from the Burundi adds richness without heaviness, while the cane juice sweetness from the Rwanda keeps everything lifted and refined.
The finish is notably clean and mouth-cleansing, with lingering hints of spice and tea that invite the next sip. The versatility of these origins means you'll have excellent control over the final flavor profile through roast development—lighter roasts will emphasize the tea, citrus, and bright fruits, while darker roasts will bring forward the cocoa, darker berries, and caramelized sugars.
