Kenya Endebess

Tastes Like: Orange  Peach  Red Grape
 
The Endebess Estate in the north of Kenya's rift valley has been growing coffee since the 1940's.  The farm sits at the foot of an extinct volcano near the border of Uganda, and the combination of the volcanic soils, high precipitation, stable temperatures and altitude all help contribute to coffee with depth and complexity.  The farm itself has been milling and processing its own and surrounding neighbours coffees since its inception.  The current owners have a strong social focus, including financing housing for locals and sponsoring students to improve education levels.
 
The coffee cherries are all handpicked and harvested for peak ripeness during the months of October to December.  The cherries are then dried and tended to on raised beds for as much as seven weeks, until the desired drying has been achieved. 
 
Expect an orange boozyness up front, a full and lingering mouthfeel of balanced peach and grape acidity, and a creamy almond, vanilla and milk chocolate finish. 
 
Available for either espresso or filter coffee brewing.
