This coffee showcases classic Kenyan mixed currant aromatics, complemented by rich stewed fruit sweetness, citrus acidity and a tea-like finish.

Coffee production in Kenya exists at two opposite extremes. Most coffee is grown by smallholder farmers working plots of just 1/8 to 1/4 of a hectare, who rely on local washing stations to process their harvest. At the other end of the spectrum are large farms such as Riara Estate, where coffee is grown and processed on-site across 74 hectares and nearly 80,000 coffee trees.

Alexander C. ★★★★★

The mixed currant aromatics hit you right in the first sip, and that stewed fruit sweetness carries through beautifully without getting cloying. It's become my weekday morning ritual, and the citrus acidity keeps every cup feeling bright instead of heavy.

Samuel ★★★★★

The tea-like finish is what got me—it lingers just long enough after that stewed fruit sweetness to keep every sip interesting. I’ve been brewing it in my pour-over and the mixed currant aromatics come through exactly as described.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The citrus acidity on this one is bright enough to wake you up, but that tea-like finish keeps it from being too sharp — perfect for a slow morning cup. I've brewed it both hot and as a cold brew, and the stewed fruit sweetness really comes through either way.
