Working in collaboration with Wood St Coffee Roasters in Saffron Walden,we have created a bespoke roasted coffee for Kbroffee.  

We were asked what flavour notes we like, origin, and process, so we could then  hold a cup tasting session whereby we evaluate different characteristics of a particular coffee bean and its brewing.

Cupping allows us to compare and contrast coffees against each other.

​

The green coffee beans will be roasted to our preference, which is a medium roast.

The roasts will suit all brewing methods. We hope you enjoy our chosen coffee

​

We have Chosen Donas da Cafe from Brazil

The coffee notes are milk chocolate, nuts and stone fruits tones running through.

This coffee comes from 3 women farmers in Brazil through the exporter SMC’s Women of Coffee initiative. Split across Sitio Baixão da Serra, Sitio Bananal Mirim, and Sitio Corrego do Adão, all are located in Sul de Minas.

They say “Women’s performance in coffee has grown exponentially over the last few years, and the demand for coffee produced by them has increased at the same rate. Showing that they can lead their businesses and gain space in the specialty coffee market, “Donas do Café” comes to bring visibility to the work and SMC’s partners. The importance of this project is illustrated
through its brand, bringing the personification of the female producers; determined and always keeping an eye on the future.”

Karimikui AA Kirinyaga Kenya

REGION: Ngariama, Kirinyaga

PROCESS: Washed

VARIETIES: SL14 & SL28

ALTITUDE: 1600 -1900 MASL

It's been a couple of years but Karimikui is back! We have very fond memories of this beauty from Kirinyaga, so we're a teeney tiny bit excited to welcome her back into our lives. Full of tangy citrus fruits like grapefruit and orange, with that pleasing zesty peel bitterness. Backed up with rich toffee and earl grey tea florals...yummy yummy yummo.

The Karimikui factory is situated in Ngairiama and is one of the three factories that constitute the esteemed Rungeto Farmers Coop Society, alongside Kiangoi and Kii. Established in 1953, the coop has grown to include 3507 dedicated members. Each smallholder member is allocated around a hectare of land for cultivating coffee alongside vegetable crops to support their families.
