Kenia Masai
This single-origin is one of the best from Kenya, one of the best known producers of speciality and quality coffees, and grows in Kirinyaga at the foot of the mountain of the same name under ideal conditions: red volcanic soil and high altitude. An extraordinary origin right from the bean: it is the fruit of small producers organised by cooperatives that evaluate the potential of each producer by quantifying the number of coffee plants instead of the hectares available. The cherries are harvested by hand only at maximum maturity, washed with the water of the Rundu river, fermented dry and placed to dry on raised boards for about 18 days, then selected and classified AA according to the sieve (the maximum size, of which only 10% of production can be boasted). The result is surprising. It is called the "Champagne" of coffees, because of its well-defined and special flavour, with a complex and peculiar acidity that, due to the greater presence of phosphoric acid, may slightly remind the palate of the sparkling champagne, a unique characteristic for which it is rightly famous.
