We love good coffee here at York Emporium, so this fantastic, delicious words-cannot-do-it justice-Kenyan coffee has us jumping for joy.
Sometimes coffees enter through our Roastery doors which just put the biggest smiles on our faces and this is one of them. Please don't just take our word for it though, get yours now, we wouldn't want you to miss out on such a treat!
The Coffee
This washed AA Kenyan coffee is bursting with bright fruity notes of Raspberry & sweet Rhubarb. This complex acidity lingers with a fizzy lemonade and soft vanilla finish. The clarity & clean nature of these flavours make this coffee best brewed as filter.
