Description
A vibrant and structured coffee, showcasing classic Kenyan blackcurrant intensity balanced by the tart-sweet lift of blood orange. The honeyed black tea undertone rounds the profile with a smooth, refined finish.
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, SL34 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 the same time supports farmer resiliency.
