Blackcurrant · Red plum · Orange zest · Brown-sugar sweetness · Clean black-tea finish · Medium roast
Last month's Sumatra was all deep, earthy body. This month we've swung the other way — and gone up a tier. A single-estate microlot from Yara Estate, grown at around 1,732 metres in the Kiambu highlands north of Nairobi, on deep red volcanic soil. The classic Kenyan trio — SL28, SL34 and Ruiru 11 — hand-picked, washed the traditional way, then dried slowly on raised beds. Bright, juicy and fruit-forward. Where the Sumatra had weight and grip, this one has sparkle. Roasted to order in NSW, this month only.
