Single-origin Kenya coffee grown in the foothills of Mount Kenya. Features a medium-light body with lime citrus acidity, balanced by sweetness in the cup. The finish displays sweet notes of white nectarine and lychee. The beans are processed through washed protocols that include extended soaking in fresh water. Light roast.
Founded in 1983 by Mike McLaughlin, a Richmond schoolteacher, alongside Pete and Bob McLaughlin, this family owned roaster began with a repurposed peanut roaster holding just 10 pounds per batch. Based in Emeryville, California, McLaughlin has evolved into a multigenerational operation with Mike's son Mark rejoining the family business after a career in Silicon Valley tech. The company sources and roasts premium coffee beans with the same precision and care it has maintained since its founding, blending traditional values with modern specialty coffee standards.
