Popped the 1st batch in the roaster last week & WOW! Such a bright, sparkling coffee! When we cup PSS (Pre Shipment samples) Or Arrival samples, often times it doesn't tell the whole story. It's often a little quiet in flavour, or worse...too roasty : / Once we get it into the big boy & start working, that's when we know what's really going on, & in this case, there's a LOT going on! We're so happy to have this coffee as our JuiceBomb #4. Can't believe it's been 4 years since the 1st one. The Real Deal It's always really tough to work through the difficulties regarding consistency in our Kenyan offering, for now anyway. Getting the same coffee year in, year out is very difficult because of how the trading is done. The lots are auctioned off every year & because it's always a kind of "Lottery", repeating the exact lot you had the previous year is extremely difficult. Working with the same Co-Op/Factory & having consistent quality is tough. Each year we have to hope to get something that we ultimately love, from a source we have worked with before & something we know everyone can enjoy. Kenyan coffees are some of the most expensive, that's reflective in the pricing as you're probably all aware of if you're fans. In all honesty, every year we definitely have a cap on what we can spend at origin, but we make sure to make less on our Kenyan just so we can offer it as accessibly as possible. It's the real deal. That's our reality with Kenya right now but we have plans for the future to shake up the system & get closer to the people that make these incredible complex cups of coffee possible.
