Kahoya Microlot – Kenya | 1 kg Whole Bean
A small-lot Kenyan coffee from George Mbugua’s seven-acre Kahoya Farm in Kiambu County. This is one of our rotating Microlots, so there’s only a limited amount. Once this batch sells out, it won’t be back.
In the cup
Caramel sweetness and a soft nuttiness, with a gentle fruitiness and a clean, delicate finish. It’s an easy-drinking Kenyan with real character, scored 85 at cupping.
The farm
George grows Ruiru 11 and Batian on the slopes of Kiambu, about 1,700 metres above sea level. He enriches his soil with organic manure he makes himself, and takes care at every stage from planting to harvest. Because a microlot comes from one small plot, each batch gets more attention, and you can taste it.
Roasted at origin
We light-roast this coffee in Nairobi, so more of the value stays in Kenya. This is the FairChain approach: we paid $10 per kg for the green coffee, well above the commodity price, and we publish that figure openly.
How to brew it
It’s at its best as a filter coffee. Try a V60, Chemex or AeroPress to bring out the sweetness and the delicate finish.
