Flavors:

Our Kenyan coffee hails from the central highlands of Kenya, adjacent to the southwestern slopes of Mt. Kenya in an area called Nyeri. Considered by some as the "champagne" region of Kenya, Nyeri coffees are superb. Featuring flavors of citrus, dried cherry and dark chocolate with a medium, almost velvety, body this coffee is a treat for the senses. The bright, acidic flavors are forward, but not overly in-your-face. It is well-balanced and a true pleasure to drink and it's the favorite of our other company founder (both founders are roasters). Enjoy this fine Specialty Coffee as the perfect morning brew to awaken your taste buds, jumpstart your soul and maybe even brighten your day.

Recommended Roast Level:

Medium-Light

It's true that Specialty Coffees shine at a Medium Roast, however Kenya's coffees are similar to Ethiopia's and typically benefit from a slightly lighter roast. Some roasters will aim for a light or even a very light roast to bring out those bright, acidic flavors. And while we can appreciate that approach, we prefer to split the difference. A Medium-Light roast enhances the acidic flavors while also developing the sweeter/syrupy notes that help to give us a well-balanced, delicious cup of coffee.

Better Coffee:

We roast only the highest grade of coffee, Specialty Coffee, which represents the top 10% of all coffee sold in the world. Don't be misled by marketing terms like "Gourmet Coffee" (which has no definition) or Premium Coffee (think Starbucks) which is a lesser grade than Specialty.

Unfortunately for coffee lovers, the vast majority of retail coffees available to the consumer are lesser grades, with the bulk of coffee sold in America (Exchange Grade/Commodity Coffee) falling as low as 40 points below Specialty Coffee grading. Most of that sits in warehouses or on store shelves for unknown and undisclosed lengths of time. And, since most coffees don't display a roast date, you have no way to know how old they really are.

At best, most coffees function reasonably well as cheap, competent caffeine delivery systems. But, if you're a coffee lover, you'll have a difficult time finding great coffee on any store shelf. In fact, you've probably never tasted Specialty Coffee or Truly Fresh Coffee unless you've actively searched for it online.

Our coffees are roasted in small batches (less than 25 lbs ea) so that we (not a computer) can control every aspect of the roasting process using old world, artisan roasting techniques. This allows us to pay close attention to the unique, distinct character of each coffee that we're roasting and enhance those characteristics and flavors by adjusting the roast accordingly. And, we stamp the roast date on every box or bag.

Fresher Coffee:

Our coffee is roasted to order in small batches and then hand-packed into standing, resealable, box pouches. The one-way valve allows your freshly roasted coffee to naturally off-gas CO2 while inside the bag. This enables us to pack your coffee almost immediately after roasting so that your order is exceedingly fresh, never having sat in inventory on some warehouse shelf. In fact, we have no roasted coffee inventory - zero, zip, zilch, nada! Your coffee is roasted only after you order it and then shipped the very next day* so that it arrives at your door at its peak of flavor and freshness. And you'll know your coffee is fresh, because we stamp the roast date on every box and bag.

Packaging: Resealable Kraft Box Pouch

*Orders are shipped on the next available shipping day after roasting.
