Kii - Kenya, Kirinyaga

kii is a washed kenyan coffee from kirinyaga, a region on the slopes of mount kenya known for producing bright, structured lots. the washed process strips the fruit before drying, which tends to push clarity and acidity forward. in the cup you get red apple and a winey quality, making it a good pick if you like coffees with a crisp, fruit-forward edge rather than heavy body or sweetness. for best results, brew it as a filter, keeping water temperature around 93-94°c to highlight the apple-like acidity without turning sharp.
