Kenya Nyeri Thageini AA

John Says...

This Kenyan is one of the best coffees I have had the pleasure of roasting this year. It will be available on siphon and as whole bean.



Thageini is part of the Aghuti Cooperative Farmers Society and is one of the washing stations producing consistently excellent coffee. This crop was purchased direct, not through the Kenyan auction, so a higher price was paid by our buyer so they would not risk losing this crop.



In the cup it's fruit punch aromatics with pink grapefruit, and raw sugar punctuated by plum, grape juice, and pineapple as it cools, with just a subtle hint of cinnamon. Phenomenal.

The recent crop of Kenyan coffees has been outstanding, so you can look forward to several more offerings in the coming weeks.
