kenya coffee
by felix roasting co. · new york city, usa
you'll taste winey before black tea. this is 5lb - kenya karurumo double washed, a washed kenya from felix roasting co..
it has a winey character with black tea and tea-like qualities, giving it a dry, structured profile rather than a sweet or heavily fruity one. it reads more savory and layered than most washed coffees.
it is grown in the embu region of kenya using the sl-28 varietal, then processed through a double washed method that removes the cherry and mucilage before drying. this results in a clean, well-defined cup.
filter or pour over methods work well here, as they highlight the clarity and tea-like structure that the double washed process produces. avoid brew methods that muddy the cup, since the clean processing is central to what makes this coffee distinctive.
...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.
