FROM THE ROASTER
THIS WASHED LOT COMES FROM THE KAINAMUI WASHING STATION IN KIRINYAGA, OPERATED BY THE NEW NGARIAMA FARMERS COOPERATIVE SOCIETY. THE REGION IS KNOWN FOR ITS HIGH ALTITUDES, RICH VOLCANIC SOILS, AND METICULOUS WET PROCESSING, ALL OF WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE STRUCTURED ACIDITY AND DEPTH TYPICAL OF TOP KENYAN COFFEES.
IN THE CUP, THIS COFFEE PRESENTS A DISTINCTLY ELEGANT PROFILE, LED BY SWEET MILKY OOLONG TEA AND BRIGHT RED CURRANT. JUICY PLUM ADDS ROUNDNESS THROUGH THE MID PALATE, WHILE BERGAMOT LENDS A LIFTED, AROMATIC FINISH. THE RESULT IS A CLEAN, COMPLEX, AND CLASSIC EXPRESSION OF KIRINYAGA TERROIR.
