This Kenya Oreti Estate coffee is a single-origin offering from the Thika Plateau in central Kenya. Grown at an altitude of 1,560–1,650 meters, this coffee is produced by the Harries family. It consists of SL28 and SL34 varieties that are fully washed and dried on raised beds. The cup profile is vibrant and juicy, featuring deep berry sweetness with notes of blackcurrant and blackberry, balanced by a clean, elegant black tea character. It is a medium roast coffee suitable for all brewing methods.
Founded in 2014, West Berkshire Roastery emerged from a single coffee van and an obsession with solving the eternal mystery of why office coffee tastes so dismal. Their roasting philosophy centers on high-airflow techniques that 99% of roasters don't employ, coupled with rigorous lab testing for pesticides and mycotoxins—a rare commitment to purity in the specialty coffee world. From their Berkshire headquarters, where Bertie the black Labrador maintains quality control with his "paw of approval," they've built a direct-trade model that prioritizes transparency while crafting chocolatey, caramel-forward profiles that defy the industry's obsession with bright, fruity notes.
