African Kahawa Blend

“Kahawa” means “coffee” in Swahili—a nod to East Africa, where this blend is rooted. We source from highland communities in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Tanzania, regions celebrated for vivid, fruit-forward cups and lively acidity. Expect a kaleidoscope of flavors: toffee, caramel, and sweet chocolate layered with raisins, green apple, red berries—and the classic Kenyan black-currant note—finishing with a soft, jasmine-like florality. 

Quality begins at the tree: cherries are selectively hand-picked, then typically depulped and washed at cooperative wet mills or washing stations before slow sun-drying on raised “African beds.” This meticulous approach (including multiple passes of hand-sorting) preserves clarity and sweetness while keeping processing low-impact and energy-light. 

Tastes like: toffee, caramel, milk chocolate, raisins, green apple, red fruits (cherry/black-currant), with a gentle floral finish—big, bright flavor wrapped in a smooth, medium-dark roast.
