This unique lot comes from the Great Rift Coffee farm, located in the Nandi Hills region—an area renowned for its fertile soils in Kenya. What makes this lot truly special is its processing method, a less common choice for Kenya, a country primarily famous for its washed coffees. By sun-drying the whole cherries, the beans absorb the fruit's sugars, developing a pronounced sweetness and a dense aromatic structure.
The sensory profile is vibrant and complex, combining the signature acidity of the Kenyan terroir with the sweetness brought by the natural process. The tasting begins with a clear, refreshing citrus acidity of pomelo, followed by a juicy sweetness of blueberries. The structure of the coffee is well-balanced, leaving a textured and crisp aftertaste that clearly evokes lime cream.
This selection is available in two distinct roast profiles, specially developed to match your equipment:
•Filter roast: Choose this profile for a clean, aromatic cup. The light roast highlights the citrusy acidity of pomelo and the freshness of the beans, while the blueberry notes provide a clean sweetness in the background.
•Espresso roast: Opt for this option if you want an intense extraction. Under pressure, the acidity is softened, and the body becomes smooth and creamy. The sweetness of the blueberries takes center stage, while the citrus notes concentrate into a dense base, delivering a vibrant, syrupy shot.
