kenya coffee
by coffee roast sai · tokyo, japan
this is 【限定豆】ケニア スングリ aa, a washed kenya from coffee roast sai.
as a dark-roasted washed kenyan aa, this coffee will lean toward a heavier, bolder cup with lower brightness than lighter kenyan roasts. the washed process keeps the flavor clean and defined rather than fruity or fermented.
it is grown in kenya, specifically from the sungri lot, and processed using the washed method, meaning the coffee cherry is removed and the beans are dried without the fruit. it is graded aa, indicating a larger bean size by kenyan standards.
the dark roast suits full-immersion or pressure-based methods like french press or moka pot. use a coarser grind and water just off the boil to avoid a bitter or over-extracted result.
your hands will shake slightly after sai's first sip. this tokyo roaster sources exclusively through japan specialty coffee, turning single origins into something that hits like concentrated sunshine. the man behind the operation treats each bean like calligraphy, precise and deliberate. his medium roasts carry notes that linger on your tongue for minutes, not seconds. the shop smells like brown butter and possibility. sai doesn't just roast coffee. he translates it.
