Description

The Kenya Mahiga AA is the Kenyan coffee we have been waiting for for a few years now. Produced by the Mahiga washing station in the Nyeri region, this coffee is true to its origin with vibrant acidity that is balanced with flavors of blackcurrant, blackberry, red grape and that sweet molasses sensation.

This coffee is roasted light and quick to showcase all that fruity goodness with an acidic flavor kick.

About this coffee

When we started our roasting story, Kenyan coffees were all the hype in the market - those super juicy and fruity washed wonders with that flavor kick from the citric acidity - yummy! But then something happened in Kenya and the coffees were starting to get … well … meh.
But in the last couple years we discovered a vibrant coffee producer community: Othaya Farmers in the Nyeri region. A life-changing experience for us as coffee roasters! We started with coffee from the Kiaga wet mill, which was great. Then we gave Rukira a go, it was amazing. And now, thanks to our good friends at Plot Coffee from Germany, we have discovered this wshed piece of heaven that wash processed at the Mahiga wet mill. And we can honestly say that this is a spectacular example of a kenyan washed coffee. Just like it used to be in the good ol’ days!
