A new coffee has arrived from Thageini, one of the premier coffee regions in Nyeri, Kenya.
This lot comes from the Thageini Wet Mill, operated by the Aguthi Farmers Co‑operative Society, and features an innovative carbonic maceration process—a method inspired by winemaking.
In this process, carefully selected coffee cherries are placed into sealed tanks, where carbon dioxide is introduced to create an anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment. The temperature, humidity, and fermentation conditions are carefully monitored and controlled, allowing the coffee to ferment slowly at low temperatures.
Project Origin classifies carbonic maceration coffees into five distinct groups—Indigo, Jasper, Amber, Diamond, and Opal—based on the flavor impression and associated color imagery.
This particular lot falls under the "Indigo" category, known for rich dark fruit and chocolate-like flavors.
Unusually for a Kenyan coffee, this cup showcases a mellow fruit profile reminiscent of cherry and grape, balanced with a deep, round sweetness.
We invite you to experience a unique expression of Kenyan coffee—don’t miss this exceptional opportunity.
