Kenya Nyeri Peaberry
My Friend's Coffee
Navel Orange, Turbinado Sugar, Tart Peach, Grapefruit
Kenya is all about acidity and sugar, and man does this stunner nail that combo. It's a pure peaberry lot from one of the origin's best-known regions, Nyeri. If you like coffees that drink clean and fresh, and justify every penny that you've sunk into your far-too-elaborate pour over setup, this one's a bullseye.
Navel orange headlines this brew—loud, proud, and constant across the temperature range. It strides alongside some turbinado sugar, and the pairing of sweetness with citric acid recalls an old-fashioned. Cooling brings out a tart peach note, which turns out to be a refreshing table-setter for a tannic hit of grapefruit. The fruits lend a dry impression to the cup, which emphasizes all of the sparkle and cleanliness that make up the classic Kenyan profile. There's also some profound flavor dilation as the temp drops. It's bright, it's sweet, it's complex—in other words, it's Kenya at its best.
