Kenya Nyeri Burumani

Kenya Nyeri Burumani

The Burumani is owned and operated by the Gikonyo family in Nyeri, Kenya. They started their farm around 70 years ago with only a few hundred coffee trees. Since then, they have been able to expand and obtain a neighboring farm to increase production. They primarily started with the SL-28 Bourbon varietals but have slowly grafted in Ruiri 11 on the SL root stock. They have moved to fully organic farming and are planning to be certified in the coming year. 

This coffee underwent a hybrid fermentation method where the coffee was sealed in plastic bags for 5 days resulting in anaerobic-like qualities in the coffee. After bag fermentation, the coffee is dried. Due to the amount of time this coffee had to ferment and the amount of sugar available to the bacterias to feed on, it makes for a punchy and sweet brew. 

We always love it when Coffee Shrub (our importer) calls a coffee "Wild and Wooly". This coffee lives up to the hype! Don't be intimidated. Try this coffee on espresso with milk! I think the strong fruited notes mixed with chocolate notes makes for an excellent option on spro'.
