Context

The Archive: Kenya Ichamama Natural represents a distinct offering from the Ichamama factory, a producer located within the renowned Kenya coffee landscape.

These characteristics can be cross-referenced against the flavor wheel to better understand how these fruit-forward profiles manifest in the cup. Sourced and roasted by Verve Coffee Roasters, this selection highlights the evolving diversity of processing techniques currently being explored by producers in Nyeri.
