This AA lot from the Gondo Factory in Kihoya is a refreshing delight and a fine example of Kenya’s shining acidity, sultry flavors, and silky textures. Cara-cara orange, blackberry, and white peach saturate your palate with syrupy sweetness. Spiced elements interact tart and earthy tastes.
Established in 2016 by veteran roaster Stephen Rogers, who brings 25 years of experience to the craft, Pipe & Tabor is located in Red Hook, Brooklyn NY. At the heart of their operation sits a signature 1953 Barth Novo Cito cast iron drum roaster, a machine that relies on the roaster's sensory skills: smell, color development, and time rather than digital instruments. They source through Red Fox Coffee Merchants and demonstrate their commitment to farmer welfare by paying 4 to 6 times higher than commodity market prices. This dedication to quality at every stage defines their approach to roasting.
