This light roast coffee originates from the Kii Factory in Kirinyaga County, Central Kenya, operated by the Rung'eto Farmers Cooperative. Cultivated by smallholders on the slopes of Mount Kenya at 1700-1800 meters altitude, the coffee features varieties SL-28, SL-24, Ruiri 11, and Batian AA. It undergoes double washed processing with fermentation for 18-36 hours in concrete tanks. The cup exhibits brightness and complexity with notes of Concord grape, fresh kiwi, grapefruit, sweet lime, and black tea.
Little Buffalo Coffee Co. was founded by Drew Smith in Oakland, California, born out of time spent living in and exploring the coffee growing regions of Central and South America. The roastery specializes in single origin, fruit forward specialty coffees, sourcing exclusively through importers who support local community initiatives and sustainable development in producing countries. Smith is committed to paying premium prices to every partner farm, guided by the belief that every farmer and farm worker should earn a fair living wage. The operation ships curated monthly selections directly to subscribers and maintains a retail collection for one time purchases.
