Curator's Notes

Slate’s newest offering: a Kenyan to brew home about! Round, punchy notes of apples, plums, and tart grapefruit tumble together within a rich and silky body. Savory-sweet caramel tones pull it all together. An expansive cup.

Roaster's Notes

This co-operative is located in the Mt. Kenya lowland region. Almost 1,000 members delivery cherries here throughout the harvest season, many of which also grow macadamia, bananas, corn, and beans along with their coffee. These members live throughout an area encompassing 3 different villages. Cherries are sorted, promptly depulped, fermented overnight, washed, and placed on raised beds for an average drying period of 10–12 days.

"Quite a bit of fruit undertones. Not much kick as, its a very light roast. Not my favorite in the french press because I like a darker roast. A touch of sugar and some steamed milk improved the flavor quite a lot"

"This is without a doubt a light roast with the fruit scents typical of a light brew. Fortunately, for some, those fruit overtones aren't overwhelming when brewed, presenting a balanced cup that everyone can enjoy."

"Think I did this as a pour over and it was okay, maybe made it a bit watered down, was good and light though, good with agave."
BRET 03/08/2018

"Characteristically Kenyan all around. Slate is one of my favorite roasters and they didn't disappoint on this one. The cup is very juicy with a very light grapefruit tartness (finish). fruity, almost like a mix of apple and cranberry juice. Great, well balanced, sweet cup."
ERIKA 03/04/2018

"Makes a tasty cup. I found this to be less fruity and more focused on caramel and sugar. Brewed with a v60. "
