Description: This vibrant top lot from Nyeri, Kenya offers a stunning example of the region’s dynamic flavor profile. Grown by smallholder farmers at 1,700 meters and processed at the Mihuti Factory — part of the long-standing Rugi Farmer Cooperative — this washed coffee delivers juicy, complex acidity and a refined sweetness.
