Our Notes
A heavy, syrupy body and flavors of brown sugar and creme brulee give way to nectarine acidity and a clean, dry grapefruit finish.

This coffee from Kenya’s Rumukia Cooperative Society has a history of being impolite.The village of Tambaya, which roughly translates to “manners,” was given its name byBritish colonists who were surprised when the locals resisted their takeover, displaying,in their opinion, bad manners. Why that surprised them is beyond us. What we do knowis that this blend of SL-28 and SL-34 varieties from New Harvest Coffee Roasters was astandout on our cupping table. If there’s such a thing as ambrosia, this just might be it:heavy, syrupy body and flavors of brown sugar and crème brûlée give way to nectarineacidity and a clean, dry grapefruit finish.
