Kenyan coffee arrivals are a sure sign that spring is on the way. This one from Carter is certainly bringing that springtime feeling to the cup, with bright and beautiful flavours of raspberry, melon and lychee layered amongst butterscotch sweetness.

Kii Washing Station in Kiringaya County is one of three factories that make up Rung’eto Farmers Cooperative Society. They have an outstanding reputation for producing the very best Kenyan fully washed coffees, processing the coffee of over 800 local smallholder farmers. Upon arrival, the coffee cherries are pulped and graded by density, then fermented, washed and cleaned once more to remove all mucilage. This process ensures a coffee with plenty of clarity and that classic bright acidity we know and love in Kenyan coffees.

Kenya’s coffee grading system refers to bean size, where AA is top of the pile and typically attracts a higher price tag for its larger size (but doesn’t guarantee better flavour!)
