This coffee is a single-origin Kenya Kivanga AA from Embu County, grown at an altitude of 1,750 meters. It is a washed coffee composed of SL-28 and SL-34 varieties. The flavor profile features vibrant notes of blackberry, apricot jam, and tart cherry, complemented by a juicy acidity and a full-bodied mouthfeel. This coffee is processed using a meticulous Kenya-style washed method, involving mechanical depulping, fermentation in open tanks, and slow drying on raised beds for 14 to 21 days.
Color Coffee Roasters is the brainchild of Charlie Gundlach, who turned his backyard roasting obsession into a legit operation in Eagle, Colorado, back in 2016. They’re pretty geeky about the science, hence the name Color, which links specific tasting notes to actual colors in a spectrum. Yet, they keep the vibe super chill and approachable for everyone while hunting for that perfect sweet spot on their energy-efficient Loring roaster to let the natural terroir really pop. Plus, they’re big on sustainability and transparency, so you can feel good about drinking a cup that’s as kind to the planet as it is tasty.
