SL28, SL34 - Washed

Kenya

Marking our second acquisition since 2018, this high-altitude Kenyan lot is a masterclass in balance, boasting an incredibly succulent juiciness and a rich, velvety body. It is, without question, the finest Kenyan coffee we have showcased since 2017.

For this release, we pushed the boundaries with our espresso roast profile, and the results are captivating. While technically a more "developed" roast, the process unexpectedly unlocked an even vibrant, brighter flavor profile. The resulting shot is the epitome of balance: generous, textured, and remarkably bright for a classic 1:2 ratio espresso.
