Introducing Kenya Zenith – Summer Harvest , our exclusive Monthly Micro-Lot sourced from the renowned highlands of Nyeri, Kenya. This small-batch, low-intervention washed coffee comes from 600 smallholder producers working within the Othaya Cooperative Society, all contributing to the vibrant and expressive cup profile found in this unique fly-crop harvest.
Kenya’s fly crop—a lesser-known but equally remarkable harvest—occurs in the summer, opposite the country’s primary winter harvest. Over time, these off-season beans have developed an exceptional reputation, showcasing unparalleled sweetness and complexity. This lot from the Rukira Factory is no exception, offering a beautifully layered balance of zesty brightness, soft tea-like body, and deep, candy-like sweetness.
Our roast approach embraces the inherent vibrancy of Kenyan coffee, keeping roast times quick and airflow simple to highlight the natural sweetness and clarity. The result? A cup that presents a lively citrus acidity softened by black tea and herbal aromatics, finished with a caramelized depth reminiscent of brown sugar and molasses.
🍊 Orange Zest & Meyer Lemon – A lively citrus kick with bright, refreshing acidity
🍑 Peach Black Tea – Silky and complex with a delicate, structured body
🍯 Butterscotch & Brown Sugar – A deep, candy-like sweetness rounds out the profile
🌿 Rosemary & Mint – A cool, herbal freshness in certain brews, adding intrigue
This micro-lot is an ephemeral masterpiece, available only for a limited time. Whether you love bright, juicy complexity or sweet, tea-like elegance, Nyeri Zenith – Rukira Fly Crop is a rare opportunity to experience Kenya’s evolving fly crop brilliance.
Only available this month—once it’s gone, it’s gone!
