01
Origin
The farm, the farmers and the growing conditions set what a coffee can taste like.
Kenyan coffee, roasted in Nairobi
Coffee,
our way.
Kenyan coffee from five growing regions, roasted by us.
Specialty, made simple
Better coffee begins long before the first sip.
Specialty coffee is graded for quality and handled carefully at every step from farm to cup. Our job is to keep what makes each coffee different and make sure it tastes good when you drink it.
02
Quality
We buy coffee that tastes clean and distinct, and that we want to drink every day.
03
Roasting
Small batches, adjusted for each coffee, so the roast supports the flavour instead of hiding it.
04
Brewing
Good coffee can still be ruined in the cup. We care about how it is made at the bar and at home.
Coffee from Kenya
Place shapes flavour.
Altitude, variety, soil, rainfall and processing all show up in the cup. Kenyan coffee is known for bright acidity, sweetness and fruit, and the differences between counties are worth tasting side by side.
Our current bags come from five growing areas.

Same cherry. Different results.
Processing changes the cup.
What happens to the coffee cherry after picking affects sweetness, body and aroma. Here is the short version.
Washed
The fruit is removed before the beans dry. This usually gives a clean, bright cup, and it is how most Kenyan coffee is processed.
Natural
The beans dry inside the whole cherry. Expect more sweetness, heavier body and obvious fruit flavours.
Honey
Some of the sticky fruit stays on while the beans dry. The result sits between washed and natural.
Experimental
Producers play with fermentation times and conditions. Results vary a lot, so we taste each one before we buy.
Roasted
here.
Every coffee behaves a little differently in the roaster. We adjust each batch by taste, so a Nyeri and a Bungoma taste like themselves even at the same roast level.

We brew all four by hand at the bar. Order one, watch how it’s made and ask the barista for the grind and ratio. Then try it with a bag at home.
Coffee at the café
Taste it before you take it home.
Not sure which bag to buy? Ask the barista what is on espresso and filter today and try a cup first.

Coffee is better shared.
We are planning cuppings, roastery visits and workshops where you can taste, compare and ask all the questions you like.
