About The Coffee
An incredibly exciting discovery from Tanzania that
highlights the country's strides in exploring the reutilization of traditional Kent fields to introduce more coveted varietals such as SL-28 and Gesha.
Anticipate a coffee with a complex acidity, featuring abundant notes of citrus and tropical fruits; you might even mistake it for a Kenyan coffee. Some have likened it to a fruit explosion with vibrant acidity, yet it remains balanced and smooth.
We've roasted this coffee lightly to maintain its acidity and unique origin qualities, showcasing the true potential of Tanzanian coffee.
