Lets talk about the beans..

These are unique, rare beans called Peaberries. They hold only one seed as opposed to two like a regular cherry. This results in the beans being more brightly acidic & more complex in the upper aromatic ranges of the profile. 

In order to create these beans, the farm begins with a disc pulping machine that efficiently removes the skin and pulp from ripe cherries, yielding coffee beans graded by density. Grades 1 and 2 undergo separate fermentation for 16 to 24 hours under shade. After washing and another density grading, beans soak for 16 to 18 hours in clean water from the Gatomboya stream. Finally, beans are sun-dried on African beds for up to 21 days, protected from extreme heat and moisture with plastic covers.

We buy in our green coffee beans from sustainable speciality coffee farms from around the world. Our focus is to roast only beans from ethical and traceable sources.

So if you are coffee curious, these Kenyan beans are a must try! Visit us in Birdhill or grab a bag online!
