Nakoyonjo AA - Blue Mountain

Medium roast

Single Origin | 100% Arabica

A vibrant and distinctive Kenyan coffee with plenty of character, our Kenya AA Blue Mountain comes from the Nakoyonjo Factory in Mukuyuni, Bungoma, in Western Kenya.

Produced by more than 3,250 smallholder farmers delivering coffee cherries to the Nakoyonjo Factory, this Grade AA coffee is grown at an altitude of 1,700–1,800 metres above sea level and is fully washed to produce a clean, bright and expressive cup.

We roast this coffee to a balanced medium profile, bringing together its naturally lively Kenyan character with enough sweetness and body to make it versatile across different brewing methods.

Expect juicy blueberry and kiwi flavours, followed by a crisp tart-apple acidity and a clean, refreshing finish.

It’s a coffee for those who enjoy fruit-forward coffees with brightness and character, but want enough balance and body to make it equally enjoyable as an everyday cup.

USE & APPLICATIONS;

FILTER BREWING - One of the best ways to experience this coffee. Filter brewing allows the blueberry, kiwi and tart-apple characteristics to really shine, producing a clean, juicy and aromatic cup with excellent clarity. Ideal for V60, pour-over, AeroPress and other manual filter methods.

ESPRESSO - Our medium roast gives this Kenyan coffee enough body and sweetness to work well as espresso while retaining its distinctive fruity character.Expect a lively, aromatic shot with juicy fruit flavours, bright acidity and a clean finish. For a more balanced espresso, aim for a slightly longer extraction to help bring out the sweetness and soften the sharper acidity.

MILK-BASED DRINKS - A more distinctive option for flat whites, cappuccinos and lattes. The coffee’s natural fruit character brings something different to milk-based drinks, while the medium roast provides enough body and sweetness to prevent the coffee from being completely lost in milk. For a fruitier and more expressive milk drink, try it as a flat white or smaller cappuccino.

BATCH BREWING - An excellent choice for batch brewing and larger-volume coffee service. The clean, bright character of this coffee carries particularly well through batch brewing, producing a consistent cup with noticeable fruit sweetness and a refreshing finish. A great option for the office, coffee machine or anyone who wants an interesting single-origin coffee throughout the day.
