Kii

Kirinyaga is a county of the former central province of Kenya. Like most counties in the Mt. Kenya region, agriculture is the main economic activity in Kirinyaga County.

This coffee is sourced from the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga. The society was formed in 1997, following a reorganization of the Ngiriama Cooperative. It now comprises approximately 850 members who bring their harvest to the Kii Factory for processing. Named after the Kii River, the factory is located in a scenic spot at the foot of Mt. Kenya. The cold, fresh, fast-running water comes straight from the mountain's snowy peaks and is the source of water used to wash the coffees.

The resulting cup reminds us of orange marmalade, plum, and pineapple.

Premier sac Th3rdwave de juillet : Voici le Kii, un Kenyan lavé torréfié par Za & Klo, Montréal. Il contient les variétals à numéro SL28 et SL34 et provient de la région de Kirinyaga. Je me suis fait un V60 avec 25g de grain et 360ml d'eau. Une fois moulu, le grain porte des odeurs légères de tabac frais et de marmelade. En bouche, le café démontre des notes fruitées bien évidentes de prunes et de raisin. L'orange seconde avec une impression de zeste doux à travers une texture soyeuse. C'est en fin de gorgée, qu'une fine impression tropicale d'ananas se faire sentir de façon persistente avec une acidité subtile et une amertume sèche. Beau mélange qui apporte des notes de fruits doux. Le café est somme toute aux saveurs delicates et offre un bon moment relaxant. Pour une raison que je ne saurais expliquer, il m'apaise comme une camomille. Bel équilibre de façon générale!
