What the roaster says about where it came from

Country

Ethiopia, Kenya

Region

Kirinyaga, Nyeri

Process

washed, pulped natural

Variety

Batian, SL28, SL34

Not stated

farm or estate, producer, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Rainforest Alliance certification

“Kamwangi has also been Rainforest Alliance certified since 1997, reflecting its commitment to environmental and social responsibility.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Species

“Kenya grows mostly arabica, and while it supplies a tiny share of the world's coffee, its famous double-washed processing is highly prized.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Variety

“Variety & Processing Like most Kenyan specialty coffees this lot is made up of a ‘field blend’ of SL28, SL34 and Batian varieties, a combination of SL varieties that have partly defined the bright, clean flavour profile the region is famous for, and the newer more disease resistant Batian.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

A vibrant and elegant cup with layers of blackcurrant, red plum, and cane sugar, lifted by a bright citrus acidity and a clean, structured sweetness — Whilst not what everyone’s looking for in espresso, this is bright, zippy and super sweet… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“Like the Yirgacheffes of Ethiopia and the best pulped natural Brazils, Kenyan coffee, when it shines like this, are a core reference point in the diversity of coffees flavour profiles and history that we believe should be celebrated.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Region

“A classic Kenyan, a perfect expression of Kirinyaga’s volcanic terroir and meticulous craft.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Processing

“Kenya grows mostly arabica, and while it supplies a tiny share of the world's coffee, its famous double-washed processing is highly prized.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

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.
