This fully washed AA decaf coffee comes from Samuel Koskey's small processing facility in Kunyak, Koru, on the border of Kericho and Kisumu counties in Kenya. Located just two kilometres from the Coffee Research Institute in Koru, the coffee is made from Batian, Ruiru 11, SL28, and SL34 varieties grown at 1500 meters altitude. After fully washing, the beans were decaffeinated using the Ethyl Acetate method at Coffein Compagnie in Bremen, Germany. The coffee represents a classic Kericho-style profile from one of Kenya's most historically significant growing regions.
Bradley and Amelia started Horsham Coffee Roaster in 2012, roasting on a 1kg machine in their garage. The operation has since grown into a purpose built roastery in Burgess Hill, Sussex, where they roast daily on a Loring S35 low emissions roaster. They became the first UK roaster to sign The Pledge at transparency.coffee and maintain direct trade relationships in Rwanda, Kenya, Costa Rica, and Brazil. Most of their coffees score 85 or above on the SCA scale. They also co own Bond Street Coffee in Brighton, listed by The Telegraph among Britain's top 30 coffee shops. BBC Good Food named their subscription the UK's Best Ethical Coffee Subscription.
