COUNTRY: Kenya | REGION: Nandi Hills | PRODUCER: Great Rift Coffee | ALTITUDE: 1400 – 1600 m | VARIETY: Batian, Ruiru 11 | PROCESSING METHOD: Natural ABOUT THE PRODUCT This unique lot comes from the Great Rift Coffee farm, located in the Nandi Hills region, an area known for its fertile soils in Kenya. What makes this lot truly special is the processing method – a less common choice for Kenya, a country famous mainly for its washed coffees. By drying the whole cherries in the sun, the beans absorb sugars from the fruit, developing a pronounced sweetness and a dense aromatic structure.

The sensory profile is vibrant and complex, combining the specific acidity of Kenyan terroir with the sweetness brought by natural processing. The tasting opens with a clear, refreshing citrus acidity of pomelo, followed by a juicy blueberry sweetness. The structure of the coffee is well-balanced, leaving a textured and refreshing aftertaste clearly reminiscent of lime cream.

This coffee is available in two distinct roast profiles, specially developed to suit your equipment:

• Filter roast: Choose this profile for a clear and aromatic cup. The light roast highlights the citrus acidity of pomelo and the freshness of the beans, while blueberry notes offer a clean sweetness in the background.

• Espresso roast: Opt for this version if you want an intense extraction. Under pressure, the acidity is softened, and the body becomes smooth and velvety. The sweetness of the blueberries takes center stage, while the citrus notes concentrate into a dense base, delivering a vibrant and syrupy shot.
