Kenya Blue Mountain is an extremely popular coffee produced in Kenya's high altitude volcanic soils. This fully washed coffee is a blend of beans from multiple producers, created by partner Jowam Coffee. The coffee features bright and bold flavors of blackcurrant and forest fruits, with a cocoa aftertaste. It has a smooth body, lively citrus acidity, and little to no bitterness. The beans exhibit a distinctive green/blue hue and retain much of their original character even at medium to high roast levels.
Grain & Grind opened its first coffee shop at the start of 2018 beneath the old Victoria Infirmary buildings on Battlefield Road in Glasgow. A roaster was installed in that original shop and later relocated to Inverness, where master roaster John now hand roasts in small batches across a range of over twenty offerings. The company has grown to eight café locations spread between Glasgow and Inverness. They also run a wholesale supply business providing beans, brew bags, and equipment to cafés, restaurants, and hotels, partnering with San Remo for espresso machines and Mahlkönig for grinders.
