Kenya Thunguri AA Washed Espresso - Single Origin

Kenya Thunguri AA Washed Espresso - Single Origin.

Thunguri Wet Mill operates under Kibirigwi Farmers’ Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga County, serving smallholder producers in a high altitude coffee growing zone. Thunguri functions as one of several wet mills within the society’s wider production network.

Farmers selectively handpick fully ripe cherries and deliver them to the wet mill on the same day, reducing the risk of oxidation and maintaining cherry integrity prior to processing.

Thunguri uses a fully washed process with parchment subsequently fermented for approximately 16 to 24 hours to break down mucilage, followed by washing, soaking in clean water, and transfer to raised drying beds.

Drying is carried out under ambient sunlight for around 7 to 15 days with regular turning and hand sorting to support even moisture reduction and parchment stability. This processing approach is designed to preserve cup clarity, acidity definition, and structural separation in the final profile.

This washed Kenya from Code Black Coffee showcases the bright, crisp character typical of coffees from Kirinyaga County. Processed at the Thunguri Wet Mill using the washed method—which emphasizes clean acidity and clarity—this lot expresses citrus notes and sweetness. The AA grade indicates consistent bean size and quality. As an espresso-focused offering, this single-origin works well in high-pressure extraction, where the washed processing's clarity can cut through milk if desired, or shine through in straight shots.
