## What the Brand Says

> ROAST: Light ORIGIN: Karatu Factory, Kiambu, Kenya NOTES: Blackcurrant, Apricot, Elderflower This washed SL28 from Karatu Factory is a vibrant expression of one of Kenya’s most celebrated coffee varieties. Grown by smallholder producers in the highlands of Kiambu, it delivers the juicy acidity and structured sweetness we love in Kenyan coffees, balanced by a softer, delicate floral character. The cup opens with bright, concentrated blackcurrant before moving into ripe apricot sweetness. As it cools, elderflower florals emerge, bringing a lifted, aromatic quality to a finish that is clean, juicy, and effortlessly balanced.
