2026 Anthony Kimani; Kibingo - Kenya

The quality of Kibingo Estate last year was exceptional, and we were eager to see what this year's harvest would bring. It did not disappoint. Anthony has produced some of the top lots in Kenya, and it is an honor to again have the opportunity to work with his coffee. In the cup we find dark fruit, rose hips, and lemon.

The 2026 Anthony Kimani lot from the Kibingo region of Kenya represents a distinct expression of the producer’s work. Roasted by Sey Coffee, this selection is characterized by a profile featuring dark fruit, rose hips, and lemon. Kenyan coffees are frequently celebrated for their vibrant acidity and complex, layered structures, which often challenge the palate to identify nuanced shifts between citrus and berry-like qualities.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the bright, citric top notes and the deeper, resonant fruit tones present in the cup. While specific processing methods can significantly influence the final character of a coffee, the clarity of these notes highlights the meticulous care taken by Anthony Kimani during the harvest. This lot serves as a compelling example of the regional typicity found within Kibingo, offering a refined experience for those exploring the diverse landscape of East African coffee.
