This single-origin coffee is sourced from the Kiamabara Washing Station in the Nyeri County of Kenya. Grown at an altitude of 1,900 meters in fertile volcanic soil, this coffee is a blend of SL28, Ruiru 11, and Batian varieties. It undergoes a traditional washed processing method, resulting in a sweet and fruity flavor profile with notes of blackberry, caramel, and lime. This coffee is light-roasted and well-suited for espresso, stovetop brewers, and fully automatic machines.
Maximilian Kranz and Dominik Münstermann founded Bohnenkartell in Essen, building a cafe and roastery whose playful name, meaning "Bean Cartel," belies a serious commitment to specialty coffee. All green coffees meet the SCA Specialty Coffee standard of 80 points or above, and each batch is individually roasted on a drum roaster to preserve the unique aromas and characteristics of its origin. Bohnenkartell also offers SCA certified barista courses, cementing their role as both a quality focused roastery and an educational resource in the Ruhr Valley's specialty coffee scene.
