This coffee is produced by the Ruiruiru Cooperative in the Nyeri district of Kenya. The coffee is consolidated from smallholder farmers and undergoes an anaerobic natural process, involving a six-day fermentation in barrels followed by a month of drying in whole cherry on raised beds. This light roast coffee offers a vibrant flavor profile with distinct notes of lime, black currant, and vanilla. It is suitable for both espresso and filter brewing methods.
Saftig Kaffe was established in Copenhagen in late 2019 as a small batch specialty roastery. The name, meaning "juicy" in Danish, sets the tone for their approach: light roasted, expressive coffees that foreground the craft of the farmer. They work with processing methods like anaerobic naturals and other experimental techniques, sourcing from origins including Kenya, Nicaragua, Ethiopia, and Colombia. Each roast is designed to let terroir and processing shine rather than impose a house flavour. Saftig also runs a brew bar in Copenhagen, open a few days a week, where visitors can taste what's current.
