Rungeto Farmers Coop • Washed-Processed Peaberry from Kii Factory
Tasting Notes 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.
