Always-fresh coffee, roasted no more than 30 days ago! ☕
Specialty coffee does not reach its full expressive potential immediately after roasting. Over the following weeks, the aromatic profile evolves: residual gases gradually dissipate and the sensory perception becomes more stable, making the cup more coherent, transparent and balanced across different brewing methods.
This coffee was roasted on 14 ottobre and is now in an advanced stage of aromatic balance: still fully enjoyable and qualitatively intact, yet beyond the time window we adopt for our standard retail offering.
For this reason, it is available at a reduced price, without any compromise on green selection, roasting quality or product traceability.

Info about variety:
SL28 is one of Kenya's flagship varieties, selected for its cup quality rather than its yield. It stands out for its bright acidity, great sweetness, and notes of citrus, berries, and currants. It is considered one of the most expressive varieties in the specialty coffee world. SL34 is a selection similar to SL28, but more adaptable to areas with greater water availability. It offers rich and complex profiles, with elegant acidity and a slightly fuller body. It's often grown alongside SL28 to balance aromatic expression and production stability. Ruiru 11 is a hybrid variety developed in Kenya to improve disease resistance while maintaining good cup quality. It offers balanced and clean profiles, with moderate acidity and controlled sweetness. It is often used in combination with SL varieties. Batian is a new-generation Kenyan variety, created to combine agronomic resistance and sensory quality. In the cup, it presents balanced and aromatic profiles, with good acidity and structure. It represents a modern compromise between agricultural performance and specialty value.
Info about process:
In the washed process, the fruit pulp is removed immediately after harvesting, and the coffee is fermented in water before drying. This method favors aromatic purity, flavor precision, and the recognition of terroir, highlighting acidity and fresher, more defined notes. It is ideal for aromatic varieties and elegant profiles.
