We’re excited to present Tambaya AA, a fully washed lot from Nyeri, Kenya for February’s “MODERN” showcase! Kenyan coffees are famous for their distinct acidity & juicy mouthfeel; this coffee is a great embodiment of how modern Kenyan coffees taste like. 

Tambaya Factory is owned by Rumukia FCS, which serves up to 600 smallholder farmers. After the cherries are sorted via grading channels, they are pulped & left to dry ferment overnight. The coffees are rinsed the next morning before being dried on raised beds. This process has evolved from the traditional double-washed process Kenyan coffees are known for yet we continue to enjoy tremendously the modern iterations of this origin.

We selected this coffee for its expressive acidity, reminding us of blackberries! Consistent with a high quality Kenyan coffee, the mouthfeel is juicy & jammy, akin to orange marmalade. We hope you will enjoy this coffee as much as we do!
