A delightful mix of SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, and Batian grown by farmers organized around the Kii washing station as a part of Rungeto Cooperative in Kirinyaga, Kenya. The factory itself was constructed in 1995, located at the foot of Mt. Kenya. The Kii River, which runs nearby, gives the factory both its name and clean water. With honeydew and refreshing concurrently herbal and resinous forest berry, this lot is a nice example of Kii's harvest for this year. 

Embu is a coffee region that tends to not be in the spotlight as much (in favour of neighbouring Nyeri and Kirinyaga) mainly due to a much smaller production, but it's certainly not because of quality. This example from Gicherori (Kibugu Farmers Cooperative Society) has the jammy and vibrant acidity we look forward to in the most exciting coffees out of Kenya, but with the added complexity that reminds us both of things like rooibos. This lot needed to be here for our Kenya release season.  

JARC 74110 & 74165 varieties grown by Musa Abalulesa, his brother, & a few neighbours, in Agaro, Ethiopia. Processed as a traditional (for Agaro) washed & dried on raised beds, the resulting cup is distinctly "Agaro" with buttery texture, & a delicate and tea-dominant profile with flavours like sencha, apricot florals, and honey-melon.
