Kenya Kiamwangi AA

RM 60.00 – RM 180.00

Pink Grapefruit, Cranberry Tea, Lemon Peel

 

The Kiamwangi Factory operates under the umbrella of Iria-Ini Farmer’s Cooperative Society (“FCS”) in Nyeri, a society that has been in operation since the mid-1950’s. The wet mill sits at just under 1800 meters above sea level on the slopes of Mount Kenya. “Factories” are essentially small washing stations aligned with a particular “society” in Kenya, what we would call a “cooperative”. In this case, the cooperative society is serving more than 700 farmers in the region. We return to the societies who seem to regularly produce some of the best Kenya coffees, and each year we come across societies that are new to us as well. This is an AA outturn, which means the beans are screened to separate out the largest coffee that measure 17-19 1/64ths of an inch. It’s not always a sign of superior cup quality, but are generally given extra care in the dry milling phase and commands a much higher price.

El Salvador Finca Las Brumas
El Salvador Finca Las Brumas
Almonds, Sparkling Citrus, Cane Sugar, Chocolate   Roaster's Notes: One of our most underrated favourite. Nothing wild here just sweet, balanced and clean coffee that's so perfect to sip on rainy days. This El Salvador brings a sparkling bright acidity in a filter roast that makes sipping from hot till cool a pleasure. In our espresso roast, the extended maillard phase tones down the acidity and takes sweetness up another notch. From the family of Ernesto Menendez that produced the very same SL28 variety for Dale Harris to win the WBC2017, this is a very solid, high quality coffee that you should definitely try   Area: Sonsonate, Apaneca-Ilamatepec Process: Washed Variety: Bourbon Altitude: 1500 masl

Spices, Dark Chocolates, Big Bodied   The northern most part of the country is ‘Daerah Istimewa Aceh’, one of 27 provinces in Indonesia which has special status. The Mandheling coffee is grown around lake Tawar, near to the town of Takengon. The soil is rich and volcanic and has grown coffee for many years. Many areas work on the single stem pruning system, and cut the main trunk every 3 years or so – this gives a very solid central producing wood. The surrounding district is pretty tropical rainforest, with coffee sometimes growing wild amongst other trees, other times in cleared areas. The coffee is produced on many small holder plots, and usually pulped and sun dried on patios, without being fermented. There are very few plantations. The final quality is determined by the exporters, who are based in Medan, close to the port, where they hull and polish the green beans.

Brazil Natural 17/18 NY 2/3 SSFC
Brazil Natural 17/18 NY 2/3 SSFC
Caramel, Roasted Almonds, Kit-Kats, Balanced   Brazil is a well known coffee producing giant. They source around one-third of the world's coffee, making them the largest coffee producer in the globe! Of course, most of this is lower grade Arabica. However, this country is capable of producing specialty coffees. This particular type is a standard specialty quality coffee. Itt is dry-processed, meaning the beans are patio-dried while they are still in the cherry. Since the coffees are dried in contact with the sweet mucilage, the coffee's cup profile will be heavy in body, sweet, smooth, and complex. The 17/18 screen size has a more consistent flavor without the pungent fruit notes that can turn up in smaller screen sized beans, which is an indication of varying bean maturity. This type carries three quality classifications:
  • NY (New York) 2/3;  specifies the quality is standard to the Green Coffee Association of New York. 2/3 refers to the amount of defects permitted in the lot; a maximum of nine secondary defects, and no primary defects.
  • SSFC (Strictly Soft Fine Cup); Strictly Soft beans are grown at relatively low altitudes (under 1200 meters). Beans grown at lower altitudes mature quickly and produce a lighter, less dense bean. This term also means the beans are free of hard rioy taints. Fine Cup means it is a specialty grade coffee.
  • 17/18 refers to the screen size. These beans are one screen size larger than 14/16, denoting a larger bean. Larger bean size is generally linked to higher quality.
