Coffee of the Month

March, Micro Lot Origin: Kenya PB

Mt. Kenya, at the helm of Kenya’s Central Province, is the second tallest peak on the continent of Africa and a commanding natural presence. The mountain itself is a single point inside a vast and surreal thicket of ascending national forest and active game protection communities. The central counties of Kenya extend from the center of the national park, like six irregular pie slices, with their points meeting at the peak of the mountain. It is along the lower edge of these forests where, in wet, high elevation communities with mineral-rich soil (Mt. Kenya is a stratovolcano) many believe the best coffees in Kenya, often the world, are crafted.

Baragwi Farmers Cooperative Society has a farmer-elected board with members from each sub location. This great single Origin Peaberry is a prime example of the expertise involved in farming, milling and then grading that has made Kenyan Coffee some of the best in the world.
