etago is a kenyan coffee roasted by rounton coffee, processed using an experimental method that sets it apart from the washed and natural coffees kenya is typically known for. the experimental processing draws out a winey character, giving the cup a fermented fruit depth that leans toward the unconventional side of kenyan coffee. if you enjoy bold, fermented flavors and want something that pushes past the classic kenyan profile of bright acidity and black currant, this is worth trying. brew it with a method that highlights complexity, such as a cafetiere or filter, and use water just off the boil to avoid muting the winey notes.

common questions

What does Etago taste like?

etago has a winey character, the kind of deep, fermented fruit quality that comes from its experimental processing rather than a conventional kenyan approach.

How is Etago grown and processed?

etago is grown in kenya and uses an experimental processing method, which is what drives its distinctive winey flavor profile rather than the more typical washed process common in kenyan production.

How should I brew Etago?

a filter or cafetiere brew will give the winey, complex notes room to develop, use water around 93-96c and avoid over-extraction by keeping brew times in check.

about rounton coffee

the filter coffee here is worth planning around. rounton has been roasting out of east rounton, a quiet stretch of north yorkshire well outside any urban coffee circuit, long enough that their regulars treat the place less like a discovery and more like a given. that kind of quiet loyalty tends to mean something. if you're making the trip to northallerton, dl6 is not the most obvious postcode to find yourself in, but the people who do find it tend to come back. the roasting operation drives everything, so whatever's on the brew bar that week is probably the thing to order, not as a consolation for not getting espresso, but because it'll reflect exactly where their sourcing head is at. start with filter. end with filter, honestly.
