Peet’s Coffee: Kenya
Month 2 of my 12 month coffee tour of the globe.
In this month, Peet’s Coffee has decided to ship a Kenyan coffee. Kenyan black coffee is what coffee is supposed to taste like.
It has a strong smell, no lingering aftertaste once it’s imbibed, not too bitter or acidic. Just right.
The colour of the grounds and the coffee is very dark.
When talking about tastes, it’s important to compare it to other coffees. This coffee has more body than the guantemalan coffee that was sent last month, more flavor, but still as smooth. This version of Kenyan coffee is more full bodied than the Black Apron blend that Starbucks had on sale, Kenya Kirinyaga, but still not quite as good. There is a certain amount of roughness in the taste of the Peet’s Coffee blend that the Kirinyaga blend simply did not have.
My wife continues to be the greatest wife ever by indulging me in this obsession.
