FAQ
- What does Kenya coffee taste like? Bright acidity with orange, lemon and floral notes and a lively, effervescent finish.
- How should I brew Kenya whole bean coffee? A pour-over or drip brewer shows off its brighter notes best. Grind medium-fine and use about 1 g of coffee per 16 g of water.
- Why buy whole bean? Coffee starts losing aroma soon after it's ground, so grinding right before you brew gives you the freshest cup.
Why it tastes smoother
Try it black first. Bitterness in most coffee comes from beans that are stale, low grade or roasted too dark. We fix all three.
- Fresh roasted. Roasted in small batches and shipped fresh, not aged for months in a warehouse. Coffee loses its sweetness as it goes stale and turns flat and harsh.
- Specialty-grade beans. Carefully sourced coffee from named regions and growers, with natural sweetness you can taste.
- Roasted to the sweet spot. We roast each coffee medium to medium-dark, depending on the bean, which brings out chocolate and caramel instead of burnt, ashy bitterness.
- The right grind. Ground for your brewer, so it doesn't over-extract, the most common cause of a bitter cup.
How to brew
Drip: 2 tablespoons (about 10 g) of standard grind per 6 oz of water.
Pour over: about 1:15 coffee to water, water at 195 to 205°F, 2 to 4 minutes total.
French press: coarse grind, 1:15 ratio, steep 4 minutes, press slowly.
Cold brew: coarse grind, 1:4 to 1:5 ratio for a concentrate, steep about 12 hours, strain, then dilute to taste.
