Context

Sourced from the Ndimi Factory, this Kenyan offering from Dayglow showcases the vibrant, high-acid profile for which the region is celebrated. Washed coffees from this area are typically processed to emphasize clarity and brightness, allowing the inherent character of the bean to shine through without the influence of fruit-forward fermentation. By utilizing the processing methods standard in this region, the producers ensure a clean cup that highlights the distinct, sharp acidity often found in Nyeri-grown lots.

When evaluating the cup, drinkers may find the specific notes of rhubarb soda, blackcurrant, and orange particularly evocative. These descriptors align with the bright, citrus-forward characteristics often mapped on the flavor wheel for high-quality East African coffees. This selection serves as a quintessential example of how meticulous washing techniques can preserve the lively, sparkling acidity that defines the Kenyan coffee experience.
