2026 Gerald Njagi; Kambarare - Kenya

This lot is the main SL* separation from Gerald's main plot of Kambarare. Gerald is one of the most impressive Kenyan producers we have met, and this is his second year working with us on the Retro 1984 project. It is an honor to continue working with this separation. In the cup we find hibiscus, grapefruit, and currants.

The 2026 Gerald Njagi release from Sey Coffee highlights the distinct profile of the Kambarare region in Kenya. This lot features the SL varietal, a lineage widely celebrated for its capacity to produce vibrant, high-acid cups. In the cup, this specific harvest presents a bright, complex character defined by notes of hibiscus, grapefruit, and currants.

Kenyan coffees are frequently recognized for their intense acidity and structured sweetness, often requiring precise roasting to balance these inherent qualities. When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better identify the nuanced fruit and floral characteristics that define the region's output. By focusing on the work of producer Gerald Njagi, this offering provides a clear look at the meticulous processing standards maintained in Kambarare. It serves as a compelling example of how specific regional conditions and traditional plant varieties converge to create a singular sensory experience.
