Kenya Single Origin Coffee

7 reviews

Vibrant blackcurrant brightness with rich milk chocolate warmth.

Grown high on volcanic African slopes up to 2,000 metres above sea level, this single origin delivers a full-bodied sensory experience. Wet-processed for pristine flavour clarity, it combines the juicy acidity of blackcurrant with sun-dried raisin sweetness and a smooth milk chocolate finish. It tastes so naturally rich and vibrant that you will never feel the need to reach for sugar.

TASTING NOTES
MILK CHOCOLATE Creamy cocoa base providing a rich, satisfying full body
JUICY BLACKCURRANT Vibrant berry brightness with clean, refreshing acidity
SUN-DRIED RAISIN Deep fruit sweetness with a warm, lingering finish
