Kenya Kariti Kianjege AA Coffee Pods
About this Product
Freshly roasted, and created in house. A medium roast coffee with a rose floral note and flavours of honeydew melon and black cherry. Lovely sweetness, and a silky body.
These are not usual pods, they aren’t dark and full bodied, they are very much a light roast style pod. If you are looking for a fuller bodied coffee please try our Organic and Fairtrade Mandheling Pods, Dark Roast Colombian Pods or our Basic Espresso Pods.
Nespresso compatible, and fully recyclable, uncoated aluminium capsules. Simply put in with your home recycling.

The farm
There’s a reason we’ve been roasting a Kenyan AA of some variety for the last thirty years or so. A great benchmark of quality for arabica, especially those grown around Mount Kenya itself, you can always expect upfront sweetness and acidity, with a fruity body - this lot is no exception, with big notes of cranberry and orange sweetness, and a perfumed finish.
Grown in the rich red volcanic soils of Kirinyaga County, just to the south of Mount Kenya and to the east of Nyeri County (which produces our Zawadi Peaberry), this origin uses the classic Kenyan varietals, SL28 & Ruiru 11. Both created through selective breeding specifically for the Kenyan climate, they’re respected as some of the most exceptional cup profiles in the world.
The 'AA' classification refers to the size of the bean, meaning that the green coffee bean is just a little more than one-fourth inch (¼") in diameter.
