this is a single origin espresso from the kii washing station in kirinyaga, kenya, processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before fermentation and produces clean, defined flavour. in the cup it delivers winey acidity alongside caramel sweetness, a combination that works well as a straight espresso shot where those characteristics can express clearly. manta ray coffee roasters have positioned it as an espresso, so pulling it on an espresso machine at standard parameters is the most direct route to what the roast is designed for. the washed process and kenyan origin typically favour precision, so dialling in grind size and dose carefully will help balance the acidity with the caramel body.
