THE PRODUCER This lot comes from Karimikui in Kirinyaga, Kenya, growing a mix of Batian, Ruiru 11, SL28, and SL34 across farms between 1,600 and 1,900 masl.
THE PROCESS This lot is Washed, a method that removes the fruit before fermentation and drying — allowing the classic Kenyan varietal character to come through, building the black currant and caramel notes that define this cup, alongside its distinctive rum and coconut character.
THE CUP Distinctive and layered — Caribbean rum and coconut character up front, with black currant depth and a caramel sweetness running throughout. An unusual, memorable expression of Kirinyaga.
