September xPods
This month promises to be quite the treat with two exciting coffees from two of our favourite Kampong Bahru roasters – Doubleshot Coffee and Nylon Coffee Roasters. For us it’s always quite a treat when a Gesha variety shows up on our list of curated xPods and for this month, we’ve got quite the one for you from you guessed it, Peru. Expect popular taste notes like nectarine, lemon zest style acidity with black tea afterfinish. Juan Herrera with over 20 years of experience under his belt, together with his brother Marcos has help to drive as one of the leading coffee producers out of the country. Peruvian coffees are definitely one to watch this year and going forward.
If juicy, bright coffees with plenty of berries in the cup are your type of thing, you’ll be delighted that we’re following up with last month’s Kenya with another Kenya this month but in the washed processing. The deep red volcanic soils of Mt Kenya rich in phosphorus, and steady mountain rainfall of about 1,500 mm a year create ideal conditions for coffee. Kiamwangi’s farmers grow predominantly classic SL28 and SL34 – the timeless backbone of Nyeri’s high-altitude profiles, with only minor traces of newer disease-resistant varieties in the wider cooperative catchment -and together they produce around 150,000 kg of cherry per year, harvested across two seasons – April to July and October to December, with the main harvest typically running from October to January.
The other thing worthy of note would be this coffee is actually from this year’s harvest and one can definitely taste the vibrancy of the currants and cranberry in the cup. Brewed it hot or iced, you won’t be disappointed.
