common questions
What does Kii Kirinyaga, Kenya taste like?
it tastes of lemon and grapefruit with citrus zest and a caramel sweetness at the finish. the washed process keeps the cup clean, so those flavours read sharply rather than being muddied by fruit fermentation.
How is Kii Kirinyaga, Kenya grown and processed?
it is grown in the kirinyaga region of kenya and processed using the washed method, meaning the coffee cherry is removed before drying. this approach highlights the bean's natural acidity and produces a clean, well-defined cup.
How should I brew Kii Kirinyaga, Kenya?
brew methods that highlight clarity and acidity, such as pour-over or aeropress, suit this coffee well. a medium-fine grind and water around 93-96°c will help the lemon and grapefruit notes come through without over-extracting the caramel sweetness.
about welwyn coffee lab
welwyn coffee lab roasts its own. that alone separates it from most of what you'll find on stonehills. plenty of cafes buy in beans from a supplier, serve them passably, and call it a day. this place owns the earlier part of that process, which means the coffee in your cup has a shorter, more deliberate chain behind it. welwyn garden city isn't a city that gets written up in specialty coffee guides much, so finding a working roastery at this postcode is a genuine surprise. come on a weekday morning if you can. the pace is slower, the staff less stretched, and the difference between a roaster pulling shots with their own product and someone just running a cafe is easier to feel. start with a filter.
