This Kenya Tegu AA is sourced from the Tegu Factory, located in Nyeri County near Karatina. Grown at an altitude of 1,600–1,800 meters on clay loam soils, this coffee is processed using the washed method. It features a full-bodied profile with savory notes of sage and sea salt, complemented by hints of citrus, berries, and mint. The coffee is produced by the Tekangu Farmers Cooperative Society, which emphasizes sustainable farming practices and disciplined processing standards.
