Day of Coffee

This morning, we enjoyed a Kenya Rukira AB roasted to a light City roast. The "AB" designation doesn't refer to bean quality but to bean size, which merely means that this lot is slightly smaller than the "AA" lots. Follow? Good. This particular batch was sweet and slightly tart, but with hints of dried fruit. The body wasn't particularly heavy, which was to be expected. The afternoon brew was a slightly darker roast of the ever-wonderful Ethiopia Idido Misty Valley, the likes of which has reminded me of cherries covered in chocolate...dark chocolate. The dry-aroma from a Full City roast with this bean is, to be blunt, ridiculously amazing. The taste in the mouth? Not disappointing in the least...

...except when you take the last sip. That always sucks.
