This dry process coffee comes from the Kagunyu Factory, part of the Rumukia Farmer Cooperative Society in Karatina, Nyeri County, Kenya, at 1600+ meters altitude in the foothills of Mt. Kenya and Aberdare ranges. The coffee is cultivated primarily using the SL-28 variety. The cup displays prominent stone fruit flavors including dried apricot, peach, and plum, with notes of fermented kombucha, spiced fruit chutney, and woody Chai spices, along with berry sauce and orange marmalade accents.

Lily & Willy's Coffee Co. is a family run specialty roaster founded in late 2022 in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, named after the founders' children. The company roasts fresh for every order rather than building up inventory, sourcing premium single origin beans from Kenya, Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru, Ethiopia, Guatemala, India, and El Salvador. The operation is deliberately small scale, with recent expansion into a local retail shelf at Shores Meat Shoppe marking a first step beyond direct to consumer online sales. The founders built the business with a long term vision of eventually opening their own café.
