From the mountain mists of Kenya comes this delightful citrusy bold blend. Kenya offers layers of complexity including a nice juicy acidity that makes your mouth water and unmistakable grapefruit and winey flavor notes and a smooth medium body. This coffee is definitely Keith's favorite!

Keith's notes: This coffee holds many different aromas on the first sniff. It has a blend of earthy, spicy and definitely citrus. The citrusy grapefruit aroma is pleasantly overwhelming. The acidity is very crisp, making your mouth water on the first taste and leaving a very clean, smooth finish. The grapefruit taste is refreshing yet there is a hint of spiciness to it. We paired this with an Entemann's Lemon bundt coffee cake. TERRIFIC!!!! The lemony overtones of the cake complimented the grapefruit flavors very well. I have also tried this coffee with a fresh orange and grapefruit. These two also complimented the beverage. My first thought was coffee and fresh fruit? ICK! But the two went fabulous with the coffee. I recommend this coffee as a definite buy!
