About the Cup
A bright and lively cup with citrus flavors that are the central component giving the cup a refreshing feel, with notes of blood orange, the sweet-tart aspects of pink grapefruit juice, and the bittering-brightness of a zested lemon. Sweetness runs deep and helps balance the high tones, furnishing an underlying flavor profile of sugar cane juice and simple syrup made with raw sugars. The vibrant acidity is attention-grabbing, and the middle and finish are marked by complex spice notes as the coffee cools, like Darjeeling tea, whole clove, and more.
About Kii Factory Washing Station
This coffee comes to us from the Kii factory, located in the Kiamabara growing area. This is a cooperative coffee - part of the Rung'eto Farmers Cooperative Society - but in Kenya they're called "factories" which is quite fitting really. Factories as an assembly line of sorts, where there is absolute consistency to the product output. This rings true for coffees that come from many of the Kenya factories we deal with. Year after year they have an astonishing ability to consistently produce sweet, clean, and complex coffees.
