Kenya Meru Nthimbiri AA

Grown at 1,600–1,700 meters on the north slope of Mt. Kenya in Meru County, this field blend of SL-28, SL-34, Ruiru 11, and Batian varietals comes from the Nthimbiri FCS, a single cooperative managing its own operations. The fully washed process—including 12–16 hour fermentation and 10–14 day raised-bed drying—builds complexity: expect tamarind, caramel, prune, and figs, with florals and red fruits emerging as the coffee rests and ages. Brewmaster notes indicate hibiscus and vanilla shifting toward red currant and citrus notes, with soup shots amplifying the florals and sweetness. At 4+ weeks rest, this coffee rewards patient brewing and reflects the cool nights and rich soils of Kenya's most productive coffee highlands.
