Kenya AA Top Machakos Koyamaen

• Contains one bag (150 g) of Kenya AA Top Machakos Koyamaen, Arabica whole coffee bean.

• From Machakos County, Kenya, this coffee is grown on small-scale farms where its plants are grown near other grain and fruit crops for biodiversity and sustainability. This coffee is washed-processed, which involves removing the coffee fruit's outer skin and pulp right after harvest, followed by fermenting in water for 1-2 days. The beans are then washed to remove mucilage and put on raised African beds to be dried under the sun for 2 to 3 weeks. Producing bright, fruity coffee flavours.

• Preparation Methods: Great for any style of filter coffee. The grinder you use and the water from your tap can alter the taste of the cup. This coffee is a juicy fruit bomb, true to high-quality Kenyan coffee.

• Available in light and medium roast offerings. Light for the most vibrancy; medium for more texture.

• Freshly roasted to order, dispatch within 2 business days.
