Eaagads Estate sits in Kiambu County — one of Kenya's oldest and most celebrated coffee growing regions, home to some of the earliest coffee farms established in the country.
The terroir here is exceptional. Iron-rich, semi-volcanic soils, consistent sunshine and altitudes reaching up to 2,000 metres above sea level creating ideal conditions for high-quality coffee. Crucially, the cool night temperatures slow down the maturation of the cherry, allowing acidity and complexity to develop gradually in the bean.
This is a washed lot, meaning the fruit is removed from the bean before drying. This process produces a clean, bright cup. The result here is the vivid blackcurrant acidity and jammy sweetness that Kenyan SL28 is renowned for.
Think blackcurrant fruit pastilles. A slightly higher brew temperature than usual will bring out the full range of flavours, and it's particularly good as it cools.
