An enticing coffee with a juicy blackcurrant and blackberry sweetness, sprinkled with brown sugar and complemented by a vibrant gooseberry acidity.
Dr Brian Gakunga has had a long history with coffee. Having inherited the Kiriga Estate from his father in 2014 he’s taken charge of not only the coffee farming, but also founded the Kenya Coffee Producers Association. He’s also the former chairman of the Nairobi Coffee Exchange, where over 90% of Kenyan coffee is traded.
With wealth of experience in coffee, it’s led him to produce fantastic lots, of which we buy a few of each year.

We roast our beans to suit any brew method. To find the method that suits your kit, check out our Brew Guides.
This lot is an AB grade, which is the second largest bean size you’ll find on the farm. The coffees are graded by sifting through a stack of colander-like trays that get smaller as you go down. The largest doesn’t necessarily mean the best, but often there is some correlation to quality. In this case we found the AB to be equally as tasty as the AA.
