Origin Story: Kenya
Sourced from the Kii Coffee Washing Station of the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga County, Kenya, these specialty-grade beans are grown at high elevations in the rich volcanic soils near Mount Kenya. The cup is bright and juicy, with notes of grapefruit, lemongrass, and dark chocolate. Carefully hand-sorted, fermented for 16–20 hours, and slowly dried on raised beds, these beans reflect the precision and vibrant character of Kenyan coffee.
We’ve been fans of Kenyan Coffee for years now, and plan to expand our offerings from Kenya in the coming harvests. There seems to be a disconnect with coffee from Kenya, as coffee buyers hold them in extremely high regard, but for whatever reason that regard isn’t maintained throughout the chain. Our hope is that incredible coffees like this one will garner more appreciation for coffees from Kenya.
