From Funk

If you're seeing red, it might be this coffee's flavour profile. Ruby-red notes of pomegranate, cranberry, and strawberry give way to a familiarly Kenyan hint of tomato: a sweet, tangy journey with a delicately savoury finish.

Thus the "flood" that comes to mind is the crimson tide of a radiant sunset, a pleasure-driven rush of pink to the cheeks, a flourish of ketchup on fries at the beach— a surge of red unleashed not by anger, but by fervour, prosperity, and joy.

Revolver Coffee

Context

Revolver Coffee's washed offering from Kenya's Kiambu region showcases the bright, acidic character typical of SL28—a varietal prized for its complex berry and stone-fruit expression. The washed processing method emphasizes the coffee's clean, tea-like clarity, allowing the varietal's inherent qualities to shine through as distinct red-fruit and tart notes. The roaster identifies strawberry, rhubarb, pomegranate, and cranberry as the coffee's primary sensory markers, with an intriguing savory tomato undertone that speaks to the varietal's mineral complexity.

This profile suggests a coffee suited to filter brewing, where its acidity and layered fruit notes can develop fully. SL28 coffees from Kiambu generally tend toward brightness and complexity—characteristics that appear well-articulated in this lot's tasting descriptor. Whether you're exploring the specific terroir of this origin or the particular qualities SL28 brings to washed coffees, this offering offers a clear expression of both.
