Using traditional washed processing, this lot develops bright, fruit-forward characteristics—strawberry and lemon notes with subtle apple undertones that create a balanced, crisp profile. Washed coffees from Kenya typically emphasize clarity and acidity, allowing the varietal's inherent floral and fruity qualities to shine through.
