Kii - Brew Chart & Impressions
The first Kenyan of the season is here! This is not only a tasty one, it's also super versatile.
We roasted it fast and just a smidgen darker than most of our African offerings to give you deep sweetness and a sirupy mouthfeel, but all the crazy tasty fruits you can find in coffees from the country.
You can expect a lot of tropical fruit notes, especially mango, and the classic taste of blackberry associated with the SL varietals.
The caramel and cacao nibs finish is just complementing and balancing the cup beautifully.
Kenyans are mostly viewed as a filter coffee, but don't be afraid to throw this in your espresso grinders!
