Kariaini Estate Microlot 896
Strawberry jam aroma with notes of apricot and milk chocolate.
Auction Lot Selection.
This coffee scored 90 on Coffee Review by Kenneth Davids, July 2010.
Read the full review here.
“Blind Assessment: Lush, berry-sweet aroma with notes of honey, aromatic wood, and night flowers. In the cup, lightly syrupy mouthfeel, bright acidity, with an orangy sweet citrus character complicated by continued suggestions of berry and aromatic wood. A very mild astringency distracts from an otherwise sweet, fruit-toned finish.”
