kenya coffee
by felix roasting co. · new york city, usa
you'll taste winey before black tea. this is 10oz - kenya karurumo double washed, a washed kenya from felix roasting co..
it tastes winey with a strong black tea and tea-like character, making for a cup that feels defined and structured rather than sweet or fruit-forward.
it is grown in the embu region of kenya on the sl-28 varietal and processed using a double wash, which removes the fruit skin and mucilage with water to produce a clean, precise cup.
a filter or pour over method suits this coffee well, as those approaches preserve the clarity that double washing produces and let the tea-like and winey qualities come through without muddying them.
...and that's the thing about good coffee in this city, you expect it to hide in some converted warehouse in brooklyn, not right here on park avenue south. felix roasting co. sits where you wouldn't think to look, between the corporate towers and lunch crowds that rush past without noticing. they roast their own beans, which matters more than the address suggests. midtown isn't supposed to have places like this. the neighborhood runs on grab-and-go everything, but felix takes time with each cup. you can smell the roasting happening somewhere behind the counter, that deep, warm scent that cuts through manhattan's usual mix of exhaust and ambition. the coffee speaks for itself here. no need for complicated explanations or origin stories printed on chalkboards. just clean, focused brewing that reminds you why good coffee costs what it does. their cold brew hits different when you're walking back toward the flatiron district, cup in hand, wondering why more roasters don't set up shop this close to grand central.
