Flavor Description

Thika coffees are renowned for their "juiciness." This AA-grade bean carries vivid yellow-fruit character: grapefruit and orange sweetness-acidity. The mid-to-late palate shows distinct caramelization sweetness, with a firm mouthfeel and licorice-like clean sweetness in the finish.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium grind, water temperature 91°C, ratio 1:15. Steady water flow draws out more sweetness layers.
  • Highlight: Very approachable for first-time Kenya drinkers — the acidity is bright but not overly sharp, with excellent drinkability.
