Filter Roast - Kenya Kifaru

Named after the Swahili word for "rhino", Kifaru stands bold and proud, just like this outstanding Kenyan coffee. Sourced from Nyeri and Kirinyaga counties, this washed AA-grade lot is a true expression of Kenya’s high-grown terroir and meticulous processing.

Expect a vibrant and juicy cup with bright acidity and layered clarity. In the cup, you’ll find blackcurrant, red berries, and grapefruit, supported by a dense, winey body and crisp, clean finish. It’s a perfect filter coffee for those who love expressive, fruit-forward profiles.
