This is anything but your average Kenyan and we're all for it.

Produced by members of the Ndaroini Factory in Nyeri County, this coffee comes from around 3,200 smallholder farmers growing coffee at elevations of up to 1,800 metres. The washing station recently began operating independently and continues the region's reputation for producing some of Kenya's most exciting coffees.

The farmers grow a mix of SL-28, SL-34, Batian and Ruiru 11 varieties, all processed using traditional washed methods. Cherries are sorted, fermented overnight and dried slowly on raised beds. The station also uses an eco-pulper to reduce water use, while the leftover cherry skins are returned to farms and turned into fertiliser.

This is a Kenya with a different side to show off.

We're getting all the sweets. Lime sweets, rhubarb and gummy bears. Bright acidity, loads of sweetness and the kind of cup that keeps you going back for another brew.

Unbelievably delicious

Bought this on a whim just to try and wasn't sure I would be a huge fan, but it is unbelievably delicious!
I have tried basically all of the roastworks coffees now and this and Peru are probably my favourites! Been reaching for this one every day recently

FAQ’S

THINGS PEOPLE ASK US

IS YOUR PACKAGING RECYCLABLE?

Our 200g and 1kg bags are made from recyclable LDPE (plastic #4). Check with your local authority for kerbside collection or recycle at major supermarkets. Our Nespresso-compatible aluminium capsules are also fully recyclable through household recycling or local collection points.

WHAT ROAST LEVELS ARE YOUR COFFEES?

We roast most coffee to an omni profile, which means it suits all brew methods while keeping the unique flavour of each coffee. The exceptions are The Truth, Uprising and The Bold. The Truth and Uprising are roasted for espresso, so they are more developed and soluble. The Bold is roasted darker to bring out richer characteristics alongside the coffee’s flavour.

WHAT GRIND SIZE DO YOU NEED?

Grind size can be tricky as adjusting it helps you get the best extraction. We know not everyone wants to invest in a grinder or fuss with settings. So we’ve simplified options with recommended brew methods:

Filter ground – cafetiere, pour-over filter and long brewed Aeropress
Espresso ground – short brewed Aeropress, moka pot and home espresso machines
