Bloody Mary, Pink Grapefruit, Floreal, Vanilla

This coffee is produced in the heart of the Oreti Estate farm, owned and managed by the Harries family for several generations. It is one of the last two medium-sized farms remaining in Kenya today.

The coffee is produced on volcanic and deep red soils, over an area of 35 hectares, at 1600 mt above sea level.

The coffee is a peaberry coffee: it means that a coffee cherry had just one seed instead of two. The coffee seed is smaller, rounder and denser than regular coffee beans and our peaberry is also cuter, let’s face it!

The coffee is handpicked and it has a double fermentation before the drying process on African beds.

The aroma of this tiny peaberry is fruity and floral, very delicate, with a sweet vanilla aftertaste.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:

The Harries family settled down in Kenya late in 1904 and now Boyce Harris is at the 5th generation of coffee farmers. He owns 2 farms in the central region of Kenya, Thika, named Oreti and Chania. The 50% of their varieties are Red Bourbon (quite unusual for the Kenyan environment), then SL14, SL28 (disease susceptible but recognized for cup quality), SL34, Ruiru 11 (resistant variety), K7 (rust-resistant) and the new variety Batian.

The coffee harvest is done entirely by hand and the coffees are processed on-site.
