Getting product details...
Whilst the neighbouring county, Nyeri, has developed an enviable reputation over the years for producing stellar coffees, legal battles in 2014 have meant that Nyeri coffees are almost impossible to source. Forced to search elsewhere for great coffees, we have been reminded at Artisan Roast that there are absolute gems to be found in other parts of Kenya. This lot from Kiangoi is one of these gems and it has an intensity of flavour and complexity of acidity that truly sparkles.
We have roasted this coffee light to preserve the intense citric and apple like acidity. Flavours are many - for us the stand out ones are fresh zesty lemons, blackcurrant, cranberry and a sweet, syrupy tangerine finish. This sweetness is a standout feature of the Kiangoi, and this is due in part to this being a peaberry selection from the factory. Peaberries are essentially an aborted seed on the coffee tree but often yield a cup profile with more balance than the standard grades. This is particularly true of Kenya where the higher perceived sweetness brings the acidity into harmony.
