In the cup.
Sourced from smallholders around the Karatu factory in Nyeri, this SL-28 and SL-34 AA grade is everything we love about Kenyan coffee: a blackcurrant snap, tomato-leaf savouriness, and a sweetness like raw cane sugar. The red volcanic soils and double-fermentation washing give it a structure that's almost wine-like. Brew it hot and a touch stronger than usual — it can take it, and it rings like a bell.
