Kenya Kiruga AA

About This Coffee

This Kenya Washed coffee from Kiruga Wet Mill captures the essence of Nyeri County in Central Kenya. Located in Othaya at 1,813 meters above sea level, the mill supports 501 small-scale farmers through the Othaya Farmers Co-operative Society Ltd. Farmers grow Arabica varieties SL 28, SL 34, and Ruiru 11 across 161.6 hectares of rich, red volcanic soil. The coffee is processed using Kenya's renowned washed (wet) method - cherries are pulped the same day, fermented in clean water for 12-24 hours, washed and graded by density, then sun-dried on raised beds for up to 14 days. This coffee offers citrus-like acidity, a smooth silky body, and complex flavors with notes of black tea, red apple, molasses, brown spices, black currant, and vanilla.

Scarab

Scarab is a recently launched roastery and cafe in Dubai's Al Qusais Industrial Area, named after the ancient Egyptian beetle symbolizing transformation and rebirth. The operation runs on a fully convection based automatic roasting system designed for low energy consumption and fast, consistent results. Sourcing focuses on high scoring, traceable single origins from Ethiopia, Colombia, Brazil, and other producing regions, with competition grade and exclusive micro lots available alongside the core range. Scarab also produces its own NiWares ceramics, including dual lipped cups engineered to change the coffee's point of impact on the palate. Mariam Erin used the NiWares cups during her winning 2024 National Brewers Cup routine. The warehouse space runs more like a workshop than a traditional cafe, with fair pricing and an emphasis on openness.
