CUP PROFILE
ROAST PROFILE
How it tastes? A fine cup with structured balance and zesty finish, like her neighbor Kenya. An empowering women produced coffee.

This Rainforest Alliance certified coffee showcases full-bodied chocolate notes rounded with luscious layers of toffee and orange marmalade.

Tamarind and candied lemon base-notes linger in the finish and pop as the coffee cools.
Recommended Roast: Medium roast develops a brisk tea-like acidity with complex dried stone fruit top notes of dried fig and berry jam.

Dark roast constructs a bold cup with complex chocolate notes, a buttery toffee flavor and layers of caramelized sugar.

Extend to espresso roast and build a cup gushing with syrupy chocolate and juicy fruit flavors.
