2026 Gerald Njagi; Kambarare Special Preparation - Kenya

Gerald prepared this single-bucket lot for us this year with the goal of perfectly uniform cherry selection. The result is a very big, fully tropical fruit-forward profile with an almost sticky sweetness and excellent acidity.

The 2026 Gerald Njagi, a Kambarare Special Preparation from Kenya, represents a focused look at the meticulous processing standards maintained by producer Gerald Njagi. As a selection from Sey Coffee, this lot highlights the distinct character often associated with the region’s high-quality output. Kenyan coffees are frequently celebrated for their vibrant acidity and complex, layered profiles, which often challenge the boundaries of the flavor wheel.

While processing methods can significantly influence the final cup—with washed coffees typically emphasizing clarity and bright, citric acidity—the specific preparation of this lot reflects the producer's commitment to quality. By isolating the Kambarare harvest, this offering provides a clear expression of the terroir and the careful post-harvest handling that defines the work of Gerald Njagi. It serves as an excellent example of the precision required to showcase the unique potential of Kenyan coffee production.
