What to Expect
This Kenyan washed coffee from Priory Farm delivers the tart, citric brightness Kenya is known for, but with an unusual bitter-sweet edge. Managed by Zakiya-Rose Muge in Nandi Hills, it's a clean, high-clarity cup with a distinctive Campari-like bitterness threading through lemon tea and honey sweetness.
The Cup
The body is medium and juicy, with a mouthfeel that's clean but not thin. Acidity is high and citric, sharp enough to wake you up but balanced by honey sweetness. The Campari note brings a bitter, herbal edge that's unusual for a washed Kenyan — it's clean and bright, not funky, but it does add complexity that some drinkers will find intriguing and others might find challenging.
Who This Is For
If you love bright, tart Kenyan coffees and appreciate a bit of bitter complexity alongside the sweetness, this will suit you. It's for drinkers who want clarity and character, not smoothness. If you prefer chocolatey, low-acid coffees or find citric acidity too sharp, this one will challenge you.
Best for: Filter drinkers who enjoy high-acidity Kenyan coffees with a bitter-sweet twist.
How to Brew This Coffee
A V60 will give you maximum clarity and let that Campari bitterness and lemon tea character shine through with precision. Filter methods like Kalita Wave or Chemex will soften the acidity slightly while preserving the honey sweetness. An Aeropress works well if you want a rounder, slightly fuller body without losing the brightness.

Ways to Brew
-
V60
V60 is a popular Japanese, cone-shaped pour-over coffee dripper designed for brewing clean, aromatic, and flavorful coffee. Known for its 60-degree angle, large single hole, and internal spiral ribs, it optimises water flow for a precise, quick, and customisable brewing process, typically 2-3 minutes.
-
Filter
A filter coffee machine (or drip coffee maker) is an often electric kitchen appliance that brews coffee by heating water, passing it through ground coffee and a filter, and dripping the finished brew into a carafe.
-
Aeropress
An innovative, portable brewing device that uses air pressure to extract coffee quickly and efficiently. This versatile method allows for experimentation with brewing times and techniques, producing anything from espresso-style concentrates to smooth, full-flavored cups with remarkable consistency.
