Kenya - Rung'eto

Note: Pre-ground coffee beans will get stale quicker, which may cause it to lose its aromatic subtleties. Although we'd be happy to grind the coffee beans to your liking, we highly recommend our customers to grind their coffee beans just before consumption.   

Kenya's coffee history is both intriguing and complex. Despite its proximity to Ethiopia, where coffee originated, Kenya began cultivating coffee much later, nearly three centuries after its initial commercial cultivation. The coffee varieties introduced to Kenya had traveled across continents before returning to Africa, adapting to different climates along the way. This journey resulted in unique flavor profiles that thrived in the fertile soils surrounding Mt. Kenya.

We've discovered that this washed process coffee shines particularly well in a pour-over method using a Hario V60 with a medium coarse grind. Initially, it bursts with flavors of grapefruit, papaya, chrysanthemum, and lemon. As it cools, notes of tomato and additional floral characteristics become more pronounced, revealing its complexity and evolving profile.
