Description
The new Kenyan crop is rolling in pretty steady and this is our first prime “top lot” arrival. A great lot, beautiful beans and the top screen size for the Ichamama Factory.
Very bright, clean and balanced. Kenyan coffees are often prized for their acidity, balance and complexity. This cup will not disappoint.
Although not the only region growing coffee in Kenya, Nyeri has been leading the way with some of the best beans we have seen and tends to be some of the earlier arrivals.
Tasting Notes:
This is an excellent classically bright Kenyan; super clean, sweet with good body. One can find all sorts of acidic like notes in this cup ranging from soft fruit to very floral. Balancing with a nice chocolaty undertone that turns pretty dark/bakers chocolate like into the darker roasts. Very fun cup with awesome flavor depth.
Roasting Notes:
Avoid super light roasts for they will be pretty “blasting” with acidity. Also like to avoid super dark roasts with this guy – will cause an awesome cup to turn pretty edgy. Sweet spot is from a city roast to full city roast – fancy words for a medium roast :-). If you like the bright notes, aim a little lighter. If you don’t like those bright notes make sure to get closer to 2nd crack than 1st. If roasted to match; a cup almost anyone will love.
