Context

As a Peaberry (PB) grade, this coffee features the naturally occurring single-seed cherry mutation often sought after for its concentrated density and uniform roast profile. When exploring the nuances of this specific lot, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the complex acidity and vibrant profiles that define the region.

Coffees from Kenya are widely celebrated for their bright, phosphoric acidity and deep, jammy sweetness, characteristics that are frequently highlighted by the meticulous processing standards found at washing stations like Kiunyu. This particular offering is roasted by The Barn, a roaster known for a light-handed approach that prioritizes the preservation of origin-specific traits. By focusing on clarity and transparency, this partnership between the producer and the roaster aims to showcase the distinct terroir of the Kenyan highlands in every cup.
