Kilenso Mokonisa has an apricot essence taste especially iced!

Discuss flavors, brew temperatures, blending, and cupping notes.

Hi guys,
I have been really enjoying Cc's Kilenso Mokonisa from Sidama Ethiopia (a natural processed)!

This particular Kilenso doesn't have the strawberry essence...it is actually a apricot taste!?! :shock:

Note: With the summer heat, I brew the espresso into a cup with ice and the apricot taste is much much more pronounced with the cooler temperature of the shot! I added a half teaspoon of sugar to taste.

Just thought I would share with the group.

I had some at a local shop in espresso form. Extremely pronounced fruit, in a good way. Definitely will be my next order. So good.

Haven't tried it as espresso, only as pour-over. I would go so far as to say it is one of the most enjoyable pour-over cups I've had in recent memory. Like everyone else noted, extremely fruit-forward (while I get the apricot, I get more prominent blueberry), but it is also very balanced and has nice body to it.
