by stean's beans · amsterdam, netherlands
this is osha, a washed kenya from stean's beans.
no specific tasting notes were provided for osha, but washed kenyan coffees are generally known for clean, bright acidity and well-defined flavour clarity. the washed process removes the fruit layer before drying, which tends to produce a transparent, structured cup.
osha is grown in kenya and uses a washed process, meaning the coffee cherry's fruit is removed before the beans are dried. this is a common processing method in kenya and contributes to the clean, defined character the origin is known for.
no specific brew recommendation was supplied, but washed kenyan coffees generally perform well as filter or pourover brews, which allow the clean, process-driven character to come through clearly. avoid methods that can muddy delicate acidity, such as heavy immersion brewing.
