The Taste of Africa: Regional Blend

Ethiopian Tega & Tula and Kenyan Kainamui

Africa is often described as the most exciting coffee growing continent. When coffee aficionados wax poetic about coffee they will cite Ethiopia as the birthplace of the hallowed plant.

It is home to a stunning diversity of coffee varieties, perhaps thousands, many wild and uncatalogued.

Ethiopia produces a substantial amount of dry-processed ‘natural’ coffee that imparts heavy fruity flavours.

While Ethiopia’s coffee history is measured in thousands of years, Kenya, its neighbour, is a relative newcomer to commercial production.

Since the late 1800’s, Kenyan coffee has developed a well-deserved reputation of producing balanced coffees with a wonderful body and lovely fruit notes.

We have blended the ‘old-timer with the youngster’ to bring you the unmistakeable taste of Africa – sweet and fruity.

ROASTER NOTES I Blueberry I Lemon I Rockmelon I Honey I

A true origin coffee, Tega & Tula is grown in the famous Kaffa region of Ethiopia. Kaffa is acknowledged as the place where coffee was first discovered in the 9th century – in fact it is where the name ‘coffee’ is derived. The two farms (Tega & Tula) are sited high in natural forest between 1700 and 2000 metres above sea level. This high-altitude coffee is naturally sweet bringing distinctive blueberry and rockmelon flavours to the blend.

By comparison, coffee production in Kenya’s Gichugu region dates back to only 1893. Kainamui coffee thrives high on the rich volcanic slopes of Mount Kenya, growing in many tiny farms at around 1750 metres above sea level. Each farm consists of around 200 trees and of the 1800 farms in this area, uniquely, 600 are owned by women. Kainamui coffee is a washed process coffee that brings a bright lemon acidity and additional sweetness to the blend.
