Origin:

The Ndaro-Ini Wet Mill, located in Nyeri County, Kenya, is part of the Gikanda Farmers’ Cooperative Society and was built in 1984. This region is known for its rich, volcanic soil and cool climate, perfect for producing high-quality coffee. Coffee grown here is cultivated at high altitudes, typically between 1,600 to 1,800 meters above sea level, which enhances the beans’ complexity and vibrant acidity. The SL28 and SL34 varietals thrive in these conditions, delivering the bright, bold flavors for which Kenyan coffee is known. The name “Ndaro-Ini” translates to “place of rest” in Kikuyu, highlighting the region’s tranquil environment   .

Processing Method:

The beans undergo a fully washed process, which is typical in Kenya. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are pulped and then fermented to remove the mucilage. The beans are then washed in clean water and sun-dried on raised beds, which helps preserve the coffee’s bright acidity and clean flavors. This process enhances the berry-like sweetness and gives the coffee a crisp, refreshing finish  .

Flavor Profile:

Kenya AA Ndaro Ini Single Origin Coffee is celebrated for its vibrant acidity and complex fruity flavors. Expect bold notes of black currant and citrus, balanced by a rich, smooth body with subtle hints of red currant and black tea. The finish is clean with a lingering sweetness reminiscent of rock candy and dried fruit. These bright, lively flavors make it a favorite among those who appreciate a distinctive, fruit-forward coffee   .

Brewing Recommendations:

For the best experience, brew this coffee using a Pour Over method to accentuate the bright acidity and fruity notes. A French Press will bring out the coffee’s full body and rich flavor, while a Stovetop Espresso or Pump Espresso method can intensify its berry and citrus notes. The coffee’s complexity shines through different brewing methods, making it a versatile choice for coffee lovers  .
