After much waiting, and much searching, we have committed to our first Kenya lot, and its stunning. In our current economic culture, sourcing and finding quality coffees, farmers, and producers has become very difficult as many of the larger mills have closed down in recent years. This has driven the supply and demand market, and kept many of the best Kenya Coffees from landing in the United States.

Through sourcing channels we have grown over the years, we are happy to share with you this new (and quite rare) Kenya Kangiri New Irati AA. Comprised of Variatels including Ruiri 11, Batian, SL28 and SL34 this beautiful washed coffee has a very fully and velvet like body, boasting heavy notes of black cherry on the forefront of the cup. Supported by notes of caramel and roasted hazelnut with a lingering cherry aftertaste, this cup is not to be missed.

Tasting Notes:

Black Cherry, Caramels, Roasted Hazelnuts

Blind Assessment

Balanced, high-toned, juicy-bright. Bing cherry, dark chocolate, freesia, Meyer lemon zest, cedar in aroma and cup. Malic (apple-like) acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Fruit-driven, chocolaty finish into the long.

Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers of the Kangiri Farmers Cooperative Society, from trees of the Ruiru 11, Batian, SL34 and SL28 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method at the New Irati Factory. Bear Lake Coffee Co., a B Corp-certified coffeehouse and roastery located in Barronett, Wisconsin, is committed to sustainability through its Coffee with a Purposeā„¢ initiative, which ensures that farmers receive compensation well above the Fairtrade Premium for their exceptional small-batch coffee.
Bottom Line
An exciting Kenya: very bright, vibrant, fruit-centered and floral with a dark chocolate throughline.

Hard

Beans seem to be over roasted. My Krups burr grinder stops when grinding these beans. Tastes bitter. Use less per cup than other beans after forcing grinder to finish. Then....Coffee tastes good, a nice little kick!

Great coffee. Roast is very nice light roast. It seems like some other roasters call theirā€™s light but is really medium. So, I really appreciate your roast. I adjusted my grinder and amount as 20 grams dosenā€™t fill my triple basket like another coffee that I have been drinking. Recomend this coffee. Ordered a 2 lb bag, should have ordered 5.

Very good!

I stumbled onto this coffee and Bear Lake in a Google search. After reading the write up about it, I decided to take a chance on it. It did not disappoint and I must cop to being difficult to please. This coffee is indeed a classic representation of all that I love about Kenyan coffee. Bear Lake did an outstanding job with roasting, packaging, and shipping. It is fresh with a decent bloom and I look forward each morning to drinking this coffee. What more can you want?
