this is a washed single-origin espresso from the kii washing station in kirinyaga, kenya, roasted by manta ray coffee roasters. kirinyaga sits on the slopes of mount kenya and is known for producing bright, fruit-forward coffees. the washed process strips the cherry before fermentation, which typically produces a cleaner, more defined cup. here you get winey acidity alongside brown sugar sweetness, a combination that pulls well as espresso, where pressure amplifies both the fruit character and the body. dial in with a slightly longer ratio if the winey edge feels too sharp.
