Review: Karinga, Kenya From Tonx Coffee




  • The Coffee

    Beans: Karinga, Kenya
    Roaster: Tonx Coffee

    Equipment/Brewing Method

    Brew Method: AeroPress w/ Able Brewing Disk
    Grinder/Grind Size: Baratza Virtuoso Preciso – Dial 24
    Bean/Water Ratio: 19/230g 1 minute steep / 45 second plunge

    Notes:
    Sweet coconut flows from the cup with chocolate following right behind reminding me of almond joy candy. Underneath, vanilla and dried fruit notes start to emerge.

    I don’t know where to begin when it comes to what I’m tasting with this coffee. Tart acidity, coconut, vanilla, cherries, chocolate, tangerines, ohh my … My tastebuds are on overdrive with the complexity of this coffee. This coffee is like a never ending gobstopper of flavor.

    Verdict:
    In the past few months I’ve had some Kenyan’s that have truly blown me away. I think I just found a new Kenya that will give all those other’s a run for their money.

    It seems that Tonx is bonkers about this coffee and now I am too!

    I am grateful to be a part of this coffee subscription and I am so happy to see Tonx Coffee doing well. Thank you guys for splurging on us subscribers and sending this amazing coffee our way.

    Score:
    94/100pts
