A washed Kenya coffee from the Thageini Village in Nyeri, traditionally regarded as the heart of Kenya's specialty coffee. Produced by a cooperative of 465 smallholder farmers, each owning approximately 150 coffee plants, growing on volcanic soils at 1,650–1,790 meters altitude. Features Arabica varieties SL-28 and SL-34, with flavor notes of dark berry, coffee blossom, and lime. Roasted as an espresso profile. Only fully ripe red cherries are hand-picked, depulped, fermented in tanks, and dried over 2–3 weeks.
Machhörndl Kaffee is a beloved Nuremberg roastery that has been a fixture of the Franconian specialty coffee scene for years, roasting small batches with artisanal care. Named after the Machhörndl family, the roastery emphasizes traditional drum roasting and direct sourcing from carefully selected farms across Africa, Central and South America. Their café in Nuremberg doubles as a gathering place for the local coffee community, with cuppings, tastings, and equipment advice. The flavor profiles range from bright, fruity filters to rich, full-bodied espressos, always roasted to showcase origin character rather than roast flavor. It's one of those neighborhood roasteries that locals fiercely guard as their own — and for good reason.
