Big Sur Kenya Kivanga AA Washed

Kenya Kivanga AA Washed

Roasters notes:

This AA lot from Kivanga Estate stood out in our cuppings for its vivid notes of mixed berries and blackcurrant, supported by a bright yet dense structure of acidity and sweetness. It consistently ranked first across three rigorous rounds of blind tasting.

The high concentration of flavor is largely attributed to Kivanga’s single estate nature. Traditionally, producers of similar scale deliver their cherries to cooperative-owned washing stations, where they are processed together with coffees from other farmers in the same region. This often results in a loss of microclimate expression, and even exceptional varieties like SL28 and SL34 may be blended with Ruiru 11 and Batian, further diluting flavor intensity.
