King Street Coffee

Description

King Street is a lively, light roast AA quality coffee from near the foot of Mount Kenya. Our first coffee from the African continent. 

Kenyan coffee is known for producing amazing berry-like cups with lively acidity and King Street is no different. The AA grade is the classification of the largest beans grown in the Nyeri region which is renowned for producing Kenya's finest coffee.

This washed coffee has tasting notes of red berries, pineapple with a hint of strawberries and cream. 

Handpicked when ripe, the cherry is delivered to the wet mill the same day to ensure no uncontrolled fermentation occurs, where it is sorted and then pulped. River water is used for processing and recirculated before disposal, with the coffee being sent out to soak in tanks in what is known as the ‘Kenyan’ style – an additional 8-16 hours of soaking under clean water helps to bring clarity to the cup and prolongs the qualities of acidity before drying under the sun on patios or raised beds.
