## What the Brand Says

> Elegant balance, flavours of caramel & orange blossom with a revealing aftertaste. The La Candelilla farm has a great reputation for quality and we're delighted to offer the SL28 varietal for a third year. Five and half years ago, Ricardo planted the Kenyan varietal SL28 on their farm, not really knowing what would come of it. These trees produced their first harvest only two years ago and because the SL28 trees were so young, the yield was only four exportable bags. However three years on they have more than doubled their harvest. Once again, this coffee is Ricardo's favourite coffee from his farm. Expect elegant balance, flavours of caramel and orange blossom with a revealing aftertaste that's worth remembering.
