FROM THE ROASTER

BNIVAANS ESTATE, OWNED BY JAMES KUNGU KARIUKI (AKA BOB), SITS JUST EAST OF GITWE IN THE GATUNDU SOUTH SUB COUNTY OF KIAMBU, AT 1930 METERS. CHERRY IS SELECTIVELY HANDPICKED AND PULPED ON THE FARM'S SMALL DISC PULPER, DRY FERMENTED FOR 24 HOURS, WASHED, THEN SOAKED IN CLEAN WATER FOR A FURTHER 24 HOURS BEFORE DRYING ON RAISED BEDS FOR 10 TO 18 DAYS.

THIS IS THE AA SEPARATION OF THIS SEASON'S BNIVAANS LOT. A TEA-LIKE LEMON VERBENA NOSE WITH A GREEN EDGE TO THE CITRUS OPENS INTO A BIG, TART GRAPEFRUIT AND POMELO MIDDLE, WITH AN UNUSUAL FINISH THAT READS AS FLORAL AND NUTTY PECAN AS THE CUP COOLS.
