Coordinates locked on Kenya. This release comes from Kiningo Estate in Kirinyaga County, sourced in partnership with Peter Mbature. A blended AA/AB lot that showcases the precision of estate-grown coffees, Kiningo proved its caliber by taking first place in the EAFCA Kenya Washed category, a true marker of excellence and a highlight in our fall rotation. Kiningo’s strength is in its mix of varietals, SL28, SL34, Batian, and Ruiru 11 - each one adding depth and dimension to the final cup. Through a meticulous fully washed process, this lot unlocks the signature profile Kenya is known for: vibrant acidity, citrus clarity, and a layered sweetness that stretches long after the sip. Roasted specifically for espresso, this release comes alive with a light and sweet mouthfeel. Expect meyer lemon brightness, tart cherry lift, and the weight of full-bodied pear, grounded in a lasting sweetness that lingers. Producer Kimani has shaped Kiningo Estate into both a heritage farm and a progressive project, continuing to expand plantings and test new methods to meet the demands of the specialty market. His passion for detail shows up in every cup, carrying clarity, character, and purpose.
