Kenya - Rianjagi

The Rianjagi cooperative represents more than 2,500 member farmers in Embu County, Kenya. This is our first Kenyan offering in several years and we’re excited to be working with Rockbern Coffee, a relatively new exporter founded by third-generation coffee producer Peter Muchiri.

This lot carries all the signatures of an excellent Kenyan coffee. Notes of blackberry, clementine, pomegranate, and golden raisin meet subtle tones of molasses and ginger in a high clarity, dynamic cup.

Sourced from the Rianjagi cooperative in Embu County, this Kenyan offering represents the meticulous processing standards typical of the region.

Roasted by Partners Coffee, this lot highlights a diverse spectrum of flavors, ranging from the sharp brightness of blackberry, clementine, and pomegranate to the nuanced warmth of golden raisin, molasses, and ginger.

Whether brewed as a pour-over or through other methods, the interplay of these specific tasting notes offers a compelling look at the current output from this renowned coffee-growing landscape.
