Kenya, Colombia & Ethiopia, washed & natural
We all love Kenyan coffee, and our new Kenya Krush is a nod to the Kenyan coffees of yesteryear. It perfectly balances clean, plump, washed Kenyan flavors with a similarly clean, softer washed Colombian and a tiny hint of ripe natural Ethiopian. It has depth, juiciness, and a beautiful composition of citrusy, tropical fruit layers.
Over numerous cuppings, we painstakingly crafted this blend, landing in our goldilocks zone for flavor. We think well-crafted blends are better than the sum of their parts, and we make these blends exclusively out of fresh coffees.
Oftentimes blends are unchanging combos of the same two or three coffees, purchased in large quantities for consistency. Kenya Krush, like all the blends we compose (don't sleep on Boulder Blend!) consists of fresh headline coffees. The exact components change bit by bit to keep the flavor fresh and lively, but the spirit of the blend is the same. We hope you love this coffee as much as we do!
