Kenya: Peaberry Plus 15/16, Kirinyaga County

Kenya’s peaberry selections isolate single‑seeded beans (screen 15/16 here) prized for focused acidity and even roasting. Sourced from cooperative factories using classic double‑washed protocols—soak, wash, soak—these lots are famed for clarity and sweetness. Kept light in the roaster, the cup shows textbook Kenyan poise: black‑tea tannin and lemon‑grapefruit zest over a honey‑cane core, with red‑currant/berry lift and a hint of florals. Acidity reads bright, precise, and composed; body lands silky and tea‑like, not thin. Expect a clean, persistent finish where citrus and black‑tea notes linger with honeyed sweetness—an elegant, energetic peaberry that pops without turning sharp.
