New! Meru Gichugene Kenya

Another stunner of a coffee that is winey, syrupy, and classically Kenyan but with some unique twists! Our new Meru Gichugene Kenya is a berry-forward (think sweet raspberry) coffee with a gratifying blueberry citrus kick. This delicious microlot boasts tasting notes of blueberry lemonade, gingersnaps, candied raspberry, and dark chocolate. If you love the classic Kenya profile with some unique lemon, ginger and blueberry pops, this coffee is for you. Our cupping team highly recommends snagging a bag or two while supplies last!

Unparalleled quality. We won’t buy a coffee unless we know that it will inspire you.
A human story. Often times a producer’s story gets lost in the coffee supply chain. It’s our focus to provide a seed to cup experience, honoring everyone involved.
Sustainability. We purchase sustainable coffees directly from producers and through brokers who share our goal of making coffee a sustainable commodity. Financially and environmentally, the coffees we purchase seek balance.
