Kenya
Soft, syrupy sweet and fruity
For a limited time, you can buy Kenya beans to take home from our cafés in Copenhagen. It's a filter coffee from Copenhagen Coffee Lab, for when you want to brew a good cup at home.
It's clean and expressive, with a soft, syrupy sweet body. In the cup there's blackcurrant, blackberry sweets, dried fruit and raspberry tart.

About the beans
Kenya
AA Thirikwa Gakuyu-ini #016
SL-34, Ruiru 11, SL-28 and Batian
Washed
From coffee cherry to bean
The coffee flowers from February to April, and the main harvest runs from September to December. The varieties grow in rich, clay-heavy topsoil.
The cherries are sorted by hand and in water, and the pulp is removed the same afternoon. The coffee ferments overnight, is washed and graded, and then dries slowly for 8 to 14 days.
Water from the Kiri River is reused in the process, and the pulp goes back to the farmers as fertiliser.

Thirikwa
Thirikwa is a cooperative that brings its entire production together at one factory, Gakuyu-ini. Around 3,700 farmers deliver their coffee there in peak season.
High standards on the farms and at the washing station pay off for the farmers, and the cooperative pays a premium to the members who deliver the best coffee.
