the kenya ruarai aa washed is sourced from nyeri, one of kenya's most respected growing regions, and carries the aa grade designation, indicating larger bean size. it's processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying and tends to produce cleaner, more defined cup clarity. ethica coffee roasters have brought out stone fruit and floral jasmine characteristics from this bean. because washed kenyans typically highlight bright acidity and clarity, a pour-over or v60 will serve it well, using water around 93-96°c to let the floral and fruit notes come through without muddying them.

common questions

What does Kenya Ruarai AA Washed taste like?

it tastes of stone fruit and jasmine, with broader floral qualities. the washed process keeps the cup clean and defined, so those characteristics come through clearly rather than being layered under ferment or fruit-forward sweetness.

How is Kenya Ruarai AA Washed grown and processed?

it's grown in nyeri, kenya, and carries the aa grade, which refers to bean size. it's processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed before the beans are dried, resulting in cleaner, more precise flavour clarity.

How should I brew Kenya Ruarai AA Washed?

a filter method such as pour-over or v60 suits washed kenyans well, as it preserves the floral and stone fruit notes without masking them. keep your water temperature in the 93-96°c range and avoid over-extraction, which can push the brightness into sharpness.
