Kenya Kamwangi AB

About This Coffee

This coffee comes from the Kamwangi washing station in Kirinyaga County, Kenya, along the slopes of Mount Kenya. It is produced by 1,800 smallholder farmers who are members of the New Ngariama Coffee Farmers' Cooperative Society, growing on volcanic soil at 1,800 meters altitude. The coffee is processed using Kenya's traditional double-soak washed method, with fermentation for 24-28 hours followed by soaking for 12-72 hours, then sun-dried for 9-13 days. The varieties include SL-28, SL-34, Ruiru-11, and Batian. The flavor profile features stone fruit, green apple, and boysenberry notes with vibrant acidity. The cooperative is certified by the Rainforest Alliance and operates under the Nyeri umbrella.

Roseline Coffee

Marty Lopes founded Roseline Coffee in Portland in 2012, starting with a 1.5 kilo Proaster and upgrading within a year as demand grew. A former coffee buyer at Barista PDX and Thomas Hammer Coffee Roasters, Lopes built the operation around precision, consistency, and a deep respect for the coffees themselves. Sourcing is driven by team consensus from blind cuppings rather than price lists, and the roastery maintains long standing relationships with farmers across Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, Guatemala, and Burundi. The name references Portland's Rose City identity and the roseline pattern in latte art, a nod to the intersection of craft and creativity that defines the brand. Roseline was named a finalist in the 2024 Sprudge Design Awards for both its roasting facility and its packaging.
