this is a micro lot washed kenyan coffee from the karimikui washing station in kirinyaga, a region on the slopes of mount kenya known for producing distinctive, high-quality arabica. the washed process removes the cherry fruit before drying, which typically produces a cleaner cup that highlights origin character. the tasting notes lean winey, meaning you can expect a ferment-edged, fruity depth with some tartness. for best results, brew it as a pour-over or filter to let that winey complexity come through clearly. use water around 93-96°c and a medium-fine grind to keep the acidity bright without turning sharp.
