A traditional washed Kenya, the Swara offers beautiful creamy notes that contribute to a full mouthfeel, while also highlighting complex citrus, including grapefruit, notes in the finish. A classic Kenyan profile!
SOURCING STORY
We have been working with Sucafina and their sister company Kenyacof for many years and source most of our Kenyas from this supply chain. This particular lot, Swara, meaning Gazelle in Swahili, is a blend of SL28, SL32 and Ruiru11 from small estates in Central and Western Kenya. Despite the fact that it is a larger lot, it offers a complex Kenyan profile at a relatively affordable price and at at the same time supports farmer resiliency.
