The Kenya - Thungiri AA, sourced by Da Matteo, represents a classic expression of the SL28 varietal grown at 2500 masl. Cultivated in the high-elevation landscapes of Kenya, this lot undergoes a washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent acidity and clean profile of the bean. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their bright, crisp clarity, the specific profile of this offering leans into vibrant, fruit-forward characteristics, including notes of strawberry jam, lemoncurd, and nectarine. For those exploring the nuances of these descriptors, the flavor wheel serves as a useful tool for identifying the complex interplay between the citrus-like acidity and the jammy sweetness found in this cup. By focusing on the intersection of traditional processing and high-altitude cultivation, this coffee offers a refined look at the distinct character of the region.
