Background Info
Top Auction Lot Kenyas are consistently among the most impressive coffees in the world. This lot from the Tambaya factory is among the best coffees to come out of Kenya, or the world for that matter. The Tambaya factory is part of the Rumukia Farmers Cooperative Society and is Fair Trade Certified by FLO. There are 843 active members of this group who tend to a total of 218,600 coffee trees. Each of the farmers have small plots of land varying between .25 acres and 2 acres. The Tambaya farmers grow mostly SL28, a bourbon derivative that tends to produce the best coffees in Kenya. The coffees are carefully pulped, fermented and dried in the sun on raised drying tables until they are between 10.5% -11% moisture content.
Fair-Trade Certified.
Roastmaster Comments by R. Miguel Meza
Black currant, blackberry, blueberry, ripe tomato, and citrus - all the things you would expect from a great Kenya. More than just flavor, it has powerful structure that few coffees can match. A bright and winey acidity and elegant round mouthfeel similar to that of an XO Cognac.
