Revolver Coffee

Context

This washed SL28 from Kenya's Nyeri region arrives via Revolver Coffee with a profile centered on stone fruit and florality. The washed processing method typically highlights a coffee's inherent clarity and brightness, a characteristic well-suited to SL28's known citrus and berry-forward character. Revolver's tasting notes of plum, red currant, and floral notes suggest a coffee balanced between fruit-forward sweetness and delicate aromatic complexity—qualities that make Nyeri-origin coffees distinctive among East African offerings.
