Kericho County AA Decaf
Tasting Notes
Description
*Roasted to order and in small batches on Sundays * Our first Kenyan decaf and it does taste like a Kenyan coffee! Rounded and balanced with orange brightness, brown sugar sweetness and a soft malt depth. Expect velvety body with a clean aftertaste. We prefer this one as espresso but it also works as a filter. **About the Coffee** Origin: Kericho County, Kenya Producer: Lot 20 Coffee Variety: Batian , Ruiru 11 , SL 28 , SL 34 Process: Washed, EA Decaf Altitude: 1,500 MASL Harvest Period: Mar 2025 - Jun 2025 Notes: Candied Orange, Vanilla, Brown Sugar Sourced by Omwani & Green Coffee Collective **The Story Behind the Coffee** Grown in Kericho County, this fully washed AA coffee was processed by Samuel Koskey at his small Lot 20 facility in Kunyak, close to the border of Kericho and Kisumu. The site is simple but well set up - ten raised beds, a clean water source piped from a nearby spring, and the focus needed to produce a classic, structured Kenyan cup. After processing, the coffee travelled to Coffein Compagnie in Bremen, where it was decaffeinated using the Ethyl Acetate method. It’s a careful process that keeps the clarity and sweetness of the original coffee intact, making this a decaf that still tastes distinctly Kenyan. Lot 20 began with a modest goal - to export twenty bags of coffee to the UK. Since then, founder Sidney Kibet has built something much larger. Today, he works with farmers across western Kenya, trialling new fermentation methods with fruit pulp, yeasts, and even fungi. The idea is simple: better processing, better coffee, better income for producers.
