Black & Blaze Speciality, Rwanda

The Specialty Kenya Espresso Roast is an espresso for anyone looking for clarity, elegance and depth in their cup. You can immediately taste that this coffee comes from one of the most renowned coffee regions in the world. The product itself stands for precise origin, careful processing and a modern espresso roasting style with excitement and structure.

In the cup, the coffee is balanced and lively. Fine notes of honey and milk chocolate provide a pleasant sweetness. Dried fruits add depth, while a clear citrus freshness provides excitement. The fruitiness is brilliant, typical of Kenyan coffees, but cleanly integrated and never sharp. An espresso with clarity, elegance and a long finish.

This coffee is ideal for portafilter machines, where it reveals its full structure. It also impresses with its clarity and sweetness in the AeroPress. In the French press, it becomes softer and rounder, while in cold brew it is surprisingly fresh and juicy. It is best to use whole beans and grind them fresh to bring out the delicate aromas.

The beans come from small farms in the highlands south of Mount Kenya, in the districts of Nyeri, Kirinyaga and Kiambu. The producers are mainly small farmers who deliver their cherries to cooperatives. The Kenyan double-washed processing ensures the typical clarity and fruitiness. It is roasted medium light to bring out its origin and character.
