Filter Roast - Kenya Ichuga AA

A classic Kenyan filter coffee that delivers exactly what you hope for from the region: vibrant acidity, intense fruit character and plenty of sweetness. Kenya Ichuga AA comes from smallholder farmers delivering cherries to the Ichuga Factory in Karatina, Central Kenya, where the traditional fully washed process brings out its distinctive character.

In the cup, expect expressive notes of black currant and dark berries, supported by a syrupy body and vibrant yet balanced acidity. A beautiful example of the classic Kenyan flavour profile, with the characteristic black currant character that makes these coffees so distinctive.
