This coffee is from the Ndurutu washing station in Nyeri, Kenya, operated by the Rutama Cooperative under Joel Kariuki and Jenniffer Muraga. About 520 farmers deliver cherries to this washing station, which has been processing coffee since 1999. This natural processed lot is dried in whole cherry on raised beds at 1700-1720 meters above sea level. The coffee consists of Kenyan varietals Ruiru-11, SL-28, and SL-34, featuring black currant sweetness, delicate florality, and chocolate character. Light roast suitable for espresso, filter, and other brew 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.
