Context

The Kenya Kiri AB is a washed coffee sourced from the Kiri factory, located within the renowned Kirinyaga region. As a washed coffee, this lot undergoes a meticulous processing method that typically emphasizes the inherent acidity and clean, vibrant profile often associated with high-quality Kenyan exports. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers ensure that the final cup highlights the distinct terroir of the region rather than the influence of the coffee cherry itself.

Roasted by Glen Lyon Coffee, this selection represents the classic, bright character that defines the Kirinyaga district. When evaluating the nuances of this specific AB grade, we recommend referencing the flavor wheel to better identify the complex, acidic structures that are hallmarks of this origin. This coffee serves as a refined example of how traditional processing techniques can elevate the unique characteristics of Kenyan beans, offering a crisp and focused experience for the discerning palate.
