rift valley kenya is a washed coffee from nyeri, one of kenya's most respected growing regions, roasted by redroaster on st james's street. the washed process removes the fruit skin and pulp before drying, which tends to produce a clean, defined cup. expect lemon acidity up front, with milk chocolate and dark chocolate rounding out the finish. for a clean expression of those flavours, a pour-over or filter method works well. if you enjoy bright, chocolate-backed coffees with citric lift and no heavy body from natural processing, this is a solid choice.

common questions

What does RIFT VALLEY – KENYA taste like?

it leads with lemon, then moves into milk chocolate and dark chocolate, giving it a balance of citric brightness and cocoa depth. the washed process keeps the cup clean and the individual flavours easy to distinguish.

How is RIFT VALLEY – KENYA grown and processed?

it comes from nyeri, kenya, a highland region known for quality arabica production. it is washed processed, meaning the coffee cherry is stripped away before drying, which highlights clarity and acidity in the final cup.

How should I brew RIFT VALLEY – KENYA?

filter or pour-over brewing suits a washed kenyan well, as these methods preserve the lemon acidity and let the chocolate notes come through without muddying the cup. keep water temperature around 93 to 96 degrees celsius for best extraction.
