Candycane CoffeeAbout This Coffee
This coffee is a washed Kenya AA from the Kii Factory, part of the Rung'eto Farmers Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga, grown on the fertile slopes of Mount Kenya at 2,000 meters altitude. Varieties include SL-34, Ruiru-11, Batian, and SL-28. Harvested in 2025 with a cupping score of 88. Cherries undergo dry fermentation (18–36 hours), thorough washing, and sun-drying on raised African beds for 12–20 days. Roasted for filter, it features flavor notes of blackcurrant and nectarine, with juicy berry tones, citrus acidity, and a silky body.

Candycane Coffee
Founded in 2017 by Prague coffee veterans Ondřej Štoksa, Zdeněk Hýbl, and Jaroslav Slámečka along with two other colleagues, Candycane roasts coffee that captures both the logo and taste of a candy cane. The team runs the popular OneSip café in Prague's Old Town while producing their podcast between roasting shifts. Zdeněk believes Prague's coffee scene benefits from working with less advanced equipment, which forces roasters to think more carefully about the coffee itself, resulting in better preparation skills and a refreshingly unpretentious approach compared to established specialty coffee capitals.
