【Impression】
Medium to medium dark, clean body, mellow, orange like sweet and fruity aroma, mix of tangerines and California orange with a touch of almond, mild bitterness as dark chocolate, high percentage cacao contained chocolate, citric acidity hidden, clean, soothing flavor, slightly different degree of bitterness as thinly layered, juicy sweetness hidden, syrupy sweetness with a scent of bitterness as a long lasting aftertaste.

High quality dark chocolate like flavor satisfies craving for sweets in the afternoon!  This flavor maximize when it's served without Milk and Sugar at first. 

【Note】
Unlike other Kenyan beans, this Gakuyuini lot has clean and less tangy bitterness: less "spicy" and "earthy".  Fruity and Juicy orange/tangerine like citric sweet aroma associates with Caribbean roots rather than African.    Although tidbit of profiles separates Gakuyuini from Kenyan origin character, a general flavor impression still carries African flavor intensity as well as "earthiness" within its sensitive/clean flavor.
