    Roaster’s Notes
    Our work in Kenya has been focused on fostering relationships with farmers. When we arrive to taste fresh arrivals, we taste all the premium grades of coffee, sometimes amounting to over 250 samples. This lot was purchased on our behalf at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange auction this year. It was one of the most expressive, delicious coffees we tasted. Packed with vibrant tropical flavors, there's a deep sweetness and pleasant stone fruit qualities throughout.
