Origin & Sourcing

This whole bean coffee comes from Othaya in Nyeri County, Kenya. The coffee is grown at approximately 1,700–1,890 meters above sea level, where high elevation supports a slower-growing, more structured coffee cherry.

The coffee is fully washed and dried on raised beds, a process that supports clarity, cleanliness, and defined flavor. Varietals include SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, and Batian, all contributing to the bright and expressive profile of this Kenya single origin coffee.

Brewing Guide

This Kenya medium-light roast works especially well for pour-over, drip coffee, Chemex, AeroPress, and a light morning cup.

A good starting point is a 1:16 to 1:17 coffee-to-water ratio. For example, use 20 grams of coffee with 320–340 grams of water.

For pour-over, use a medium-fine grind and water around 200°F, starting with a short bloom before pouring in slow, even stages. For drip coffee, use a medium grind and filtered water for a clean daily cup. For AeroPress, use a medium-fine grind and adjust brew time depending on whether you want a brighter or fuller cup.

For the freshest flavor, grind your beans right before brewing and avoid grinding the whole bag at once.
