Kenya Kamoini

Size

There’s nothing like a great Kenyan coffee - intense brightness and fruit, juicy mouthfeel, and big sweetness in a combination that’s pretty much impossible to find anywhere else. Kamoini - our first washed Kenya of the 2024 harvest, is exactly what we’re looking for from this unique origin.

Kamoini is one of 17 factories (Kenya-speak for washing station) in the larger Othaya Farmers Cooperative Society, and while this is our first time roasting Kamoin, we look to the Othaya Cooperative for at least one banger coffee each year. We’re lucky to taste lots from throughout the cooperative, and this year,Kamoini was the standout washed lot.

Additionally, the vast majority of our Kenyan coffees come to us through the  Kenyan Cooperative Coffee Exporters (KCCE) network. The Kenyan coffee industry tends to be dominated by a few foreign-owned businesses, and KCCE is a collective of cooperative societies that market and export their coffee together, to keep a bit more of the benefits within Kenya. We enjoy working with KCCE, and we can count on some amazing coffee each year.

Admittedly, Kenyan coffee can be a bit polarizing, especially if you’re adding milk or alt milk into the equation. The intense acidity of the coffee doesn’t pair well with the milk for all taste buds, and while combo might work great for you, our usual recommendations for cream tend to come from Latin America. We’re not saying don’t try it, just that it’s not the safest path. But if you drink that coffee straight and want to get those taste buds watering, Kenya Kamoini FTW.

We’re tasting bright pink grapefruit, molasses, a stone fruit one-two punch of peach and cherry juice, plus sweet-tart goji berry. It’s our first washed Kenya for this season, and it’s big, bright, juicy, and complex, just the way we like it.
