Kenya Tegu AA Nº 380

It is common to roast Kenyan coffees extremely lightly, to highlight the dominant acidity. But in the case of the Sasini, we were impressed with its intense honey sweetness, and so developed the natural sugars a little further with a longer roast time, and higher temperature. This has resulted in a complex sweetness with subtle florals, black forest fruits and a hint of cocoa on the finish.

The peaberry grade is a sweet, small and round bean (unlike other beans, which have one flat edge). Once considered a less desirable grade, it is now famed for its rich, characterful flavour. Roasted to a medium-dark level, this coffee is a great expression of Kenyan coffee. Expect fruit notes of raspberry & blackberry, intense molasses and hint of high quality cocoa.

We've worked with Marta Dalton and her family over the last few years through her company Coffee Bird, in fact most of our Guatemalan coffees have come through her! We decided that the Dalton family farm had produced something perfect for us, a balanced sweet coffee with notes of Red apple and Toffee.Subscribers: In the unlikely event that we run out of this coffee we will replace it with the most similar substitution we can find. If for any reason you do not like the substitute we will of course replace or refund. You will be notified of a substitution with a note in your box.

Coffee is all about relationships, so we’re excited to showcase this lot, which marks the beginning of a new relationship with Chacra Coffee, a Peruvian specialty coffee exporter. This lovely Geisha lot from Miguel Lopez is a great example of his simple, quality-focused approach, which is refreshingly evident here.
