Roast Style: Progressive

These tend to be lighter bodied coffees, that forefront flavour nuances inherent to the specific bean. These coffees tend to have natural sweetness and distinctive aromatic properties.

As a general guide, they'll be great brewed using any filter method. We'd recommend trying them black.

Roaster's Notes

Our approach to roasting Kenyan coffees centres around prominently showcasing the one of the most defining traits of the region: their splendidly vibrant acidity!
To achieve this, we begin with a high charge temperature in order to initiate the development process. Kenyan beans, large and dense, respond well to short, intense roast profiles. This coffee’s bright character is complemented by the weight of a full mouthfeel and lingering golden syrup finish.

COFFEE ORIGIN INFO

The Thambana Farmers’ Co-op is based in Embu County, near the Mount Kenya forest. The cooperative operates the Kiungu and Kathima factories and benefits from the area’s nutrient-rich volcanic soil. The coffee cherries are handpicked, pulped, and fermented overnight before being washed and graded. The cooperative emphasises sustainability, using the coffee pulp as fertiliser, and encouraging crop diversification. The lot’s high growing conditions mean it meets the criteria of Strictly High Grown (SHG) or Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) classification; consequently, the beans have more time to mature and absorb nutrients.
