kenya coffee
by beacon coffee roasters · bozeman, usa
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is kenya kaganda, a washed kenya from beacon coffee roasters.
it leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, backed by a winey quality and jasmine florals, then settles into a black tea, tea-like finish with a touch of cedar. the cup is bright and clean, with layered acidity rather than sweetness.
it comes from the nyeri region of kenya and is processed using the washed method, meaning the coffee cherry is removed before drying, which produces a cleaner, more defined cup with pronounced acidity.
brew methods that emphasize clarity, such as pour over or aeropress, work well here, as they allow the citrus, floral, and tea-like qualities to come through without muddying the acidity. keep water temperature around 90 to 94 degrees celsius to avoid muting the brighter notes.
