kigina hill is a natural-process bourbon from burundi, roasted by lost sheep coffee. drying the whole fruit naturally gives the cup a pronounced sweetness and complexity, showing lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest alongside stone fruit, jasmine, and broader floral tones. the acidity is bright but framed by the fruit-forward character that natural processing typically brings. bourbon is a classic high-quality varietal that tends toward clean sweetness and good structure. to highlight the citrus and floral notes, brew as a pour-over or aeropress using water around 92, 93 degrees celsius, and avoid over-extraction by keeping contact time moderate.

about lost sheep coffee

you're on st george's lane, which puts you right at the edge of canterbury's bus station, not the most obvious postcode for a coffee stop. but lost sheep has been pulling locals back here long enough that the location stopped mattering. canterbury is a city that runs on tourism for much of the year, pilgrims and day-trippers cycling through the same cathedral loop, and a roaster that actually holds the attention of people who live here is doing something right. this is a specialty roaster, not just a café, which means the coffee itself is the point. if you're passing through on a coach connection or killing time before a train, st george's lane is genuinely worth the detour.
