In Season
In the foothills of towering Mount Kenya, Africa's second-highest peak, members of the Rung'eto Farmers Cooperative Society grow Ruiru 11, SL-28, and SL-34 varieties. Each day during the harvest, farmers deliver their ripe coffee cherries to the Kiangoi Coffee Factory, where their coffee is combined and undergoes meticulous sorting, fermentation, and washing before it is carefully dried on raised beds. To form this lot, the coffee was then expertly milled and further sorted to achieve the premium Kenya AA grade, distinguished by its large, uniform bean size and high quality. The precision in picking, processing, and milling brings out the vibrant acidity and expressive character we love in Kenyan coffees.

How To Brew

We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from Intelligentsiacoffee.com.
