Roaster's Reserve Kenya - Kichwa Tembo Washed

While neighboring Ethiopia tends toward lighter body coffees, Kenya is known for full bodied, robust coffee, and this is no exception. This coffee comes with some savory notes and also displays flavors of peach, hazelnut, and fig.  The body showcases a buttery and creamy finish. We are excited to have this unique offering as one of our roaster's reserve. 

The Cup:
Savory notes mixed with molasses flavors, good acidity, and candy-like
sweetness.

Variety:

Batian, SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11

Program: Kichwa Tembo
Kichwa Tembo means “elephant head” in Swahili, and for Cafe Imports, this mark represents the strength in the cups. Our Kichwa Tembo signature offerings present a classic, hardworking Kenya profile with citrus fruit like grapefruit, bright and tangy acidity, balanced sweetness, and some of the complexity expected from a Kenyan. We strive to offer high quality Kichwa Tembo coffees as a price-conscious complement to our more traceable microlot offerings from this fabled growing country.
