Kenya Nyeri Kamoini Triple Washed Crown Jewel, CJ1421
This coffee is phenomenal. It hits you with bright grapefruit and lime acidity, which is balanced by delicate raisin sweetness. It's all packaged in a velvety body and topped off with a black tea finish. Talk about a Kenya!
These certified organic coffees hail from Muiri Estate in Kiambu County, a coffee powerhouse right next to Nairobi. The coffees are classic and big-bodied with bold flavors. The estate is named after an African tree species, the Prunus Africana—or "muiri" in the local Kikuyu language. They have been organic certified since 2008, and continue to raise and process beautiful coffees using wholly organic inputs and canopy management.

We've been thinking a lot about sustainability lately, and having conversations that span the supply chain, listening and learning from perspectives and experiences beyond our own. Chris Kornman and Sandra Elisa Loofbourow sat down recently to talk about sustainability and introduce our forthcoming Sustainability Series. Consider this your gateway into a deep dive on how the people and places where coffee is grown, roasted, and served can not just survive, but thrive.
