KENIA - KARATINA [FILTRO]

About This Coffee

This coffee is from Kirinyaga county in Kenya, near Karatina. It is a washed coffee processed by smallholder farmers who are members of the Kibirigwi Farmers Cooperative Society (FCS). The Nguguini factory, established in 1958, serves over 1,200 producers in the region. The coffee varieties are SL28, SL34, and Batian, grown at altitudes between 1600 and 2300 meters in fertile volcanic soils. The cherries are hand-picked, sorted, and undergo wet processing with 16-24 hours of fermentation followed by washing and soaking in clean water. The beans are then sun-dried on raised beds for 7-14 days. The tasting notes include floral, kiwi, and butter.

Dalston Coffee

Borja Rosello, a former chef, founded Dalston Coffee in 2017 in Barcelona's Raval neighborhood. The name comes from the Dalston district in East London where Borja worked and first discovered specialty coffee after tasting a flat white that struck him as an entirely different kind of drink. The roastery operates from a separate facility in La Garriga outside Barcelona, supplying the shop alongside coffees from guest roasters like Five Elephant and Koppi. Equipment runs La Marzocco espresso and Mahlkonig grinders. The packaging, redesigned six years after opening with illustrator Lourenco Providencia, depicts each product as a single house, with the full range forming a colorful neighborhood. The space itself is small and plant filled, built around good music and an informal atmosphere.
