kenyan aa from mt atkinson coffee is sourced from nyeri, one of kenya's most respected coffee-growing regions, and processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before fermentation and drying. the result is a clean, bright cup with sharp citrus character, lemon and grapefruit up front, citrus zest through the mid-palate, and milk chocolate to dark chocolate in the finish. the washed process keeps acidity precise and well-defined, so brew methods that highlight clarity work well here. a pour-over or v60 at around 93-96°c will let the citrus and chocolate layers separate cleanly without muddying the cup.

about mt atkinson coffee

you're on portage road in new lynn, which isn't the part of auckland that gets written about in travel magazines, and that's fine. the roastery at 44b has built a reputation the quiet way, through the work itself rather than the noise around it. new lynn has been shifting for a while now, more foot traffic, more people paying attention to what's local, and mt atkinson fits that without making a big thing of it. if you're coming from central auckland, the drive west is worth it. the kind of place where the coffee is the point, not the backdrop to something else. pull up on portage road on a weekday morning and start with whatever's on filter.
