Kenya Kii AB Kirinyaga Washed (Single Origin Filter)
Manta Ray Coffee RoastersAbout This Coffee
This single origin coffee is from the Kirinyaga region in Central Kenya, home to Mt. Kenya. Grown at elevations between 1600-1900 meters, the coffee features Batian, SL-28, SL-34, and Ruiru-11 varieties. Processed using the washed method at the Kii factory, which is operated by Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society serving about 1,215 active farmer members. Cherry is depulped after sorting, fermented overnight, washed with fresh river water, and dried in full sun. The region's rich volcanic soil and 50 inches of annual rainfall contribute to fruit-forward characteristics. Flavor notes include blackberry, rhubarb, and caramel. This is a filter roast coffee selected as a microlot based on cup score.
