## What the Brand Says

> We selected this coffee because it captures the precision and structure that made Kenya one of the world’s defining coffee origins. Kii AB is a classic washed Kenyan profile at its best: clear, vibrant and composed. Cranberry and redcurrant lead the cup, followed by tart rhubarb, refined sweetness and a bright, finely structured acidity. The finish is long and clean, with the profile opening further as the coffee cools. Produced by the Rung’eto Farmers Cooperative Society at Kii Factory, the coffee comes from smallholder farms across Embu and Kirinyaga on the slopes of Mount Kenya. The lot combines SL28, SL34, Batian and Ruiru 11, grown at 1,708 metres. After harvest, ripe cherries are selected, dry fermented for up to 36 hours, thoroughly washed and slowly dried on raised African beds for up to twenty days. Taste description: In the cup you'll find lively notes of cranberry, rhubarb and redcurrant, supported by sparkling acidity, refined sweetness and a long, clean finish that continues to evolve as the coffee cools.
