Flavor Description

This AA-grade bean from Nyeri showcases the most iconic "blackcurrant" character of Kenya. The entry is intense, bright grapefruit and dark-plum acidity, with a savory tomato-like quality in the mid-palate; as the cup cools, a red-sugar sweetness becomes increasingly pronounced.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: V60 dripper recommended, medium-fine grind, water temperature 92–94°C. Higher temperature activates the bright acidity layers.
  • Note: These beans are extremely hard; a bit more force may be needed for grinding. Recommended ratio 1:15.
