It is certifified both organic and fair trade and grown in the Mount Elgon region near Lake Victoria. The large "presence" of so many earthy flavors; a malty complexity and a luscious syrupy body especially impress us. There is an almost "bucolic" thick sweetness in the aroma, which carries over into the flavor. The body is somewhat heavy, but the overall effect is still invigorating. This is not a brew, that on first taste, you put aside because it is too intense. As the up cools a bit, there is the most interesting cherry liquor note that becomes pronounced. It is a very sweet cup, with lingering butterscotch hints. Overall we rate excellent - that cherry taste is fantastic!
