Roast Level: Medium

Tasting Notes: Orange Peel, Herbal, Chocolate

A new addition to the Catahoula catalog, we’re excited to release this year’s Kenya Roast. Kenyan coffees are traditionally sold in very small volumes that correspond to one specific estate and one specific preparation. In order to procure a large supply of coffee, each year Royal Coffee invests in select bulk lots with high transparency and very specific physical preparations. Naturally, each year is a little different.

Many of us are accustomed to Kenya coffees being organized and sold in very small volumes that correspond to one specific estate or washing station (known as “factory” in Kenya) and one specific physical prep. While single-factory lots certainly dominate the highest quality tier, coffee exports as a whole in Kenya reflect the distribution of most producing countries elsewhere: as a wide triangle, with microlots at the top and bulk volumes of various transparency and quality standards comprising the larger, more efficient shipments. Kenya, working the way it does, means the microlot segment is proportionally large compared to other origins. But it rests upon, and interacts with, a bulk market nonetheless.

Roast Master Choice allows you to enjoy the 12oz bag you’ve chosen, along with a well paired half pound of another of Catahoula’s freshly roasted coffee picked by our Roast Master. (Add $8)
