Context
Sourced from the slopes of Mt. Kenya, the Karimikui lot represents the distinct profile often associated with this renowned coffee-growing region. Roasted by Obadiah Coffee, this selection undergoes a washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and vibrant acidity of the bean. In the cup, this specific offering is characterized by a notable blackcurrant acidity balanced by a creamy body.
When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often reference the flavor wheel to better articulate the nuances between acidity and mouthfeel. While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their clean, bright profiles, the specific terroir of the Mt. Kenya region frequently contributes to the intensity of the fruit-forward notes found in this entry. By focusing on precise processing and careful roasting, this coffee serves as a clear example of the high standards maintained by producers in this iconic Kenyan landscape.
