What Wave Coffee Roasters says about this coffee

Kenya Karatina is a washed coffee from around the town of Karatina in Nyeri County, Central Kenya, grown above 1650 m.a.s.l. from SL28 and SL34, the varieties behind Kenya's famous berry-driven cups.

In the cup: black currant, cranberry and raspberry, with bright acidity and a light, clean body. A classic, juicy Kenyan for filter brewing.

How to brew

Filter: 15 g of coffee to 250 g of water (1:16) at 92–94 °C; total brew time around 2:45–3:15 on V60, Kalita or AeroPress.

Single-origin specialty Arabica, roasted by Wave Coffee Roasters in Portugal.

Recyclable packaging

“New mono-material packaging that is fully recyclable As part of this development, we are transitioning to new coffee packaging made from mono-material and fully recyclable.” their page (opens in a new tab)

These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.

Where each fact came from

Tasting notes

…tasting notes: Black Currant, Cranberry, and Raspberry… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
