Roaster Notes:
BC3.5 Drum - I was extremely stoked and a little nervous to roast this coffee, as it's my first ever Kenyan. Putting the common advice of "blast it with heat and then crash it late" into practice, I charged this coffee with lots of energy and kept as much heat on it as I could, until adjusting the flame low and letting it hit a strong crack, dropping with about 25 seconds of development. The end result is a cup with huge guava up front, clear and bright lime zest, that cools into a beautifully delicate fistful of flowers.
