Kenya Kiambu Spike AB

Cupping Notes: Cup flavors have a juicy quality, fruited and bright, but well integrated into the sweetness. Complexity comes up a bit as it cools, hints of dried currant, blackberry, long steeped black tea, aromatic finish. City to Full City.

That's reason enough for me, and certainly a name we'll remember. Spike farm was established about 12 years ago, in Kaira-ini area of Kenya's Kiambu district. This 12 hectare farm sits at 1930 meters above sea level, and is planted in SL 28, and Ruiru 11 varieties, planted in separate blocks. They recently started grafting Ruiru onto SL roots too, also on a separate farm block from the rest. All of the coffee is currently harvested
