Why we love it: Rich, sugary coffee that's bigger and rounder than some of the brighter Kenyan offerings we've had. Expect lots of deep sweetness and notes of ripe lime pomegranate and blackberry. The cup has a rounded acidity and full body with lots of sugar-browning, reminiscent of cherry cola. While deeply sweet, it's not lacking in complexity at all, making this one ripper of a drip coffee or even espresso.

Who it comes from: Quality coffee from the Gaturiri Factory in Nyeri, Kenya. The local Kirigu Riveris helps process this beautiful washed coffee. Around 1,500 farmers process their cherry at Gaturiri, where coffees are sorted by ripeness and quality before pulping and washing. This coffee received around 24-48 hours of fermentation before being laid to dry on raised beds.
