Intense, juicy, and utterly captivating. Kenya AA Riakiberu from Parisian roaster Tanat Coffee is a filter coffee that will not leave you cold. The cup explodes with notes of blueberries, dried flowers, rhubarb, and lemon, which combine to create a lively, elegant, and precisely balanced profile. The silky texture carries a distinctive, sparkling acidity reminiscent of fresh rhubarb with a drop of lemon juice, while the sweetness of blueberries brings a soothing depth. If you love Kenyan coffees for their energy and purity, here you will find it in its purest form, no flatness, no boredom, just joy with every sip.
Behind this exceptional batch is the Riakiberu Coffee Factoryfarm and washing station in the Kamacharia region of Nairobi, located at an altitude of 1,650 meters. Local farmers grow the iconic SL28 and SL34 varieties, known for their ability to produce complex and distinctly fruity cups. The fertile red soil, high altitude, and alternation of sunny days and cool nights create ideal conditions for the slow ripening of cherries. Every detail, from hand harvesting to careful selection of ripe fruits, has a single goal: to preserve the maximum purity and character of the terroir that makes Kenyan coffees world-renowned.
The washed processing method showcases Kenyan mastery in all its glory. After being harvested by hand, the cherries are de-pulped, fermented in water tanks, and then thoroughly washed to bring out the natural structure and bright acidity of the beans. This process emphasizes the purity of flavors, highlights the juiciness, and brings a precise, long finish. The result is a coffee that is clean, lively, and juicy, ideal for filter brewing, where it fully develops its elegance and energy.
