From the roaster

Nos encantan los cafés de Kenia por esa fruta intensa y esa acidez brillante. Este café de la estación de lavado Kii es un buen ejemplo de lo que nos gusta en los cafés kenianos. Podrás encontrar en taza notas a paraguayo, limón confitado y una nota herbal que nos recuerda al té blanco. Es un café con un cuerpo cremoso, denso, muy dulce, con una acidez melosa que nos llena la boca. También te puede recordar su aroma y sabor a peras en almíbar, miel de flores y kiwi amarillo. El retrogusto es largo y muy agradable.

Nomad Coffee

Context

KII#2 from Kenya's Kii producer represents a washed process coffee that showcases the clarity and brightness characteristic of this technique. Nomad Coffee's tasting profile reveals a coffee with pronounced fruit-forward and floral characteristics—from guava and yellow kiwi to candied lemon and pears in syrup, rounded by delicate white tea and flower honey notes. This complexity across stone fruit, citrus, and tea-like dimensions suggests the coffee captures nuanced aromatics typical of Kenyan coffees, where the growing environment and careful processing help develop such diverse flavor layers. The interplay between the sweeter, syrup-like fruit notes and the more subtle white tea quality creates a balanced profile worth exploring across different brewing methods.
