This is a Kenyan coffee from Kericho County, processed using an Orange Co-Ferment method by Lot 20 under the leadership of Sidney Kibet. The coffee is created through an experimental fermentation process using oranges that are grown alongside coffee by local farmers, providing an additional income stream. This innovative processing approach represents a modern departure from Kenya's traditional washed coffees. The flavor profile features notes of orange zest, peach syrup, and star anise, showcasing a distinctly vibrant and experimental character.
