Kenya is an amazing country for coffee lovers. Kenyan coffees are renowned for their powerful aromas, sparkling acidity, sweet berry flavors and rich mouthfeel. The culmination of these attributes gives many Kenyan coffees a sort of luxurious quality. It’s a unique quality, no doubt, and many of our favorite coffees in Kenya have come from producers in the Nyeri District in the country’s Central Province.

Kiawamaruru features a punchy note of passion fruit and a grape-like candy quality reminiscent of Pez. A cocoa sweetness provides plenty of depth to the coffee, and it has a wonderful lingering finish. Kiawamaruru is very well-structured. As the coffee cools its components don’t break down a bit, and even at near-room temperature this coffee’s acidity and sweetness are wholly intact.
