Context

Riakiberu AA comes from Prolog Coffee's sourcing in Kenya's Murang'a County, where the Riakiberu Coffee Factory produces this washed lot at 1650 masl. The washed process typically emphasizes clarity and brightness—qualities that align with the roaster's tasting profile of currants, citrus, and juicy character. These flavor descriptors suggest a coffee with both berry-forward sweetness and bright acidity, positioning it within the vibrant spectrum commonly found in high-quality Kenyan washed coffees. The AA grade indicates careful sorting and processing at the source, supporting the refined flavor expression Prolog has identified in the cup.
