FROM THE ROASTER

AFTER FEATURING A RUN OF FW KEBENA ESTATE IN FACILITY LAST YEAR, WE'VE HAD THIS LOT PATIENTLY WAITING IN THE WINGS FOR US TO WAIT OUT OUR COLOMBIAN ALLOCATION. A TOUCH MORE DEVELOPMENT - AS BEFITS THE TIME OFF THE TREES - HAS PRODUCED A VERY BALANCED AND ENJOYABLE DECAF.

WE’RE TASTING SYRUPY AND THICK, WE'RE FINDING CHOCOLATE ORANGE AS THE DOMINANT CHARACTER, ALONGSIDE MALTED MILK BISCUITS, LIGHT FUDGE, BRAZIL NUTS AND A HINT OF BAKING SPICE; WITH A BALANCED ACIDITY IN MILK - BOURBON BISCUITS, SUPER SWEET.
