Kenya Kiawamaruru coffee comes from the Kiawamaruru Factory in Nyeri, Kenya. Farmers hand-pick ripe cherries and bring them to the central facility for quality sorting. The best cherries undergo washed processing: depulping, washing, and wet table draining. Beans are dried on tables inside a parabolic greenhouse to 10-11% moisture. The result is a complex and juicy cup with black currant, mango, and maple sugar notes.
PERC Coffee was founded in 2010 by Philip Brown in Savannah, Georgia, beginning with a Diedrich IR 12 roaster sourced from eBay and initial deliveries made by bike and backpack. The roastery operates from a restored warehouse alongside an organic community garden, embedding sustainability into both coffee sourcing and physical space. Brown sources colorful coffees from various origins, prioritizing long term producer relationships that allow consistency and trust building. The roasting philosophy centers on small batch profiles crafted to maximize sweetness and varietal character, while monthly free public cupping sessions invite the community into the sensory experience of specialty coffee.
