Roaster's Notes This Kenya AA is a vibrant and expressive coffee with bright citrus acidity and a silky, creamy body. Notes of lemon and peach come forward alongside a subtle tea-like character and hints of pine. The cup finishes clean and lingering, making this a classic example of the lively, complex character we look for in Kenyan coffees.

Barista Notes A versatile coffee that really shines as a filter brew, where its citrus and tea-like qualities are especially pronounced. As espresso, expect a bright, juicy shot with lemon and peach notes and a creamy texture. We recommend a slightly longer ratio to highlight the sweetness and keep the acidity balanced.

At the Kathithinku wet mill, cherries are selectively hand-picked and carefully sorted before being washed and sun-dried on raised beds.
