NOTE: All of our premium Arabica coffees are roasted to City+ to Full City roasts, showing minimal-to-no surface oils….we want all of the flavor to stay in the beans until the coffee is ground! Despite the additional descriptors, the first flavor and aroma you'll think of is "COFFEE".

While good Kenyas remain on the scarcer and pricier side, occasionally we'll bite when a great one like this comes around. The Kaliluni Farmers Co-op tend a smallish sector in Machakos, the processing center about 80 km from Nairobi. Varietals SL 28 and SL 34 dominate this washed, fermented and sun-dried, very high-grown between 1850 and 2125 meters above sea level.
Even one day off roast this coffee puts off an amazingly sweet and chocolatey fragrance. The acidity so typically bracing of fine Kenyas is comparatively muted, yielding to cassis-y, buttery and agave-y notes with a smooth finish.

good to the last bean
We are such perfectionists we roast one bean at a time for the ultimate coffee experience! (OK, not really)
"...this morning I arose early to grind, press, and sample the El Salvadoran Women's Brew. Wow, what an aromatic and delicious treat! I first noticed a lack of offensive acidity (which is why I did not drink coffee for years), a delicacy and round impression on the palate, wonderful fruitiness, and complex flavors. This coffee reminded me of feminine-style red wines, with understated elegance, finesse, and polish. Some coffees are more about the flavor of roasting, almost a charcoal taste, but this was much more subtle and appealing to me. Tomorrow I will try the Ethiopian selection and let you know what I think. You are definitely on to something special with your coffees. "
