milk chocolate, apple cider, and hibiscus

milk chocolate - This coffee is a washed process, lending it more to presenting the natural terroir of the region. In earth-forward coffees it’s difficult to not pick up a touch of cocoa, but in this specific cup we noticed a particular sweetness and smoothness to come alongside it. 

apple cider - Kenyan peaberry coffees tend to be juicy, and this coffee certainly meets that expectation. A bright malic acidity rests comfortably in this cup, which has us thinking apple cider.

hibiscus - We enjoy the depth of complexity African coffees always bring to the table, and the nuanced acidity alongside herbal notes has us landing on hibiscus.

Kenya

Kenya (ken•yuh) possesses a handful of unique characteristics within its coffee industry that make it stand out from the rest. The country was one of the last African countries to be introduced to coffee as a cash crop and, as a result, has a more modern approach to all areas within the industry.
