This coffee is a single-origin selection from the Kamwangi factory in the Gichugu region of Kirinyaga, Kenya, grown at an altitude of 1,500 meters. It is a blend of SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, and Batian varieties, processed using a traditional Kenyan washed method that includes a unique underwater soaking step. The flavor profile features notes of cranberry, raisin, nectarine, persimmon, and sweet cream.
Founded by Curtis Zimmerman, a former international bicycle racer who discovered Nordic coffee culture during his travels through Europe, Presta Coffee emerged in 2012 with a coffee cart before establishing itself as a roastery in 2014. Operating using a 15kg Joper Roaster with the belief that "coffee is meant to be shared," Presta has served Tucson for over a decade with a philosophy rooted in integrity and passion.
