Kenya Nyeri

Wood Grouse Rösterei

Roaster: Arno Auer

Nyeri County features cool temperatures and fertile central highlands. The region’s fertile soil, seasonal rainfall, and high altitude create an ideal climate for coffee cultivation. This environment produces coffees with high acidity, full body, and ripe fruit flavours. The cool nighttime temperatures at high altitudes cause the coffee beans to develop slowly, resulting in dense, hard beans with high acidity and complexity. Built in the 1980s between the Rwarai and Chinga rivers, Karuthi is one of the younger factories in Othaya, and its production volume is typically lower than most of the other neighbouring factories. This lower quantity of cherry makes quality control a bit easier during the peak of the harvest. Arno recommends this coffee as a Filter Coffee, but you can also serve it as a light Espresso.
