This June we welcomed guests coffees from Kenya and Burundi. Both countries are renowned for their incredible coffee production.
Tekangu - Kenya
Grown and harvested in the foothills of Mount Kenya in Nyeri County. This coffee is processed in the Tegu factory which is a mill owned and operated by the Tekangu farmers' cooperative society. The Tekangu farmers' cooperative society was founded in 1969 and today has1200 members and spans across 5 villages. Famed for quality and fertile soil, this region produces a rich and quality cup. Tegu which translates as ‘low place’ due to its geographic location lies in the foothills between Mount Kenya to the Northeast and the Aberdare Range to the West.
Nyeri county is known for growing coffees that are flavour dense intense and complex, cup profiles. It is made up of mainly smallholder farms, each with an average of just 100 trees.
It is a juicy and clean washed process coffee with Oolong Tea and Milk Chocolate. This coffee is perfectly suited not only for making a fruity espresso, but also for delicious filtered coffee.
