What is GourmetKáva Specialty?
It is a true specialty coffee that we have carefully selected for you and had roasted for us by the specialty roaster Beansmith. There are many definitions, but one of the more specific ones from the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) states that these are coffees that score at least 80 out of 100 in a professional evaluation and do not exhibit any of the specifically listed flavor defects. With our specialty coffees, you’ll also find 100% transparency (farms, importer, roaster, and retailer).
What makes specialty coffees different from others?
Don’t expect strong bitterness in this coffee, as it’s roasted lighter than regular coffee. This coffee is primarily roasted for espresso, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyable in a moka pot as well.
Brewing Tip
We don’t specify exact grind sizes because every grinder is different, but you can try grinding to achieve a result similar to what we’ve listed below. However, this is really just one of many possible scenarios—it’s merely a starting point.
Recommended preparation: 16 g of coffee / 35 ml of brew in about 30 seconds
The coffee comes from the Kiri Factory processing station, operated by the Ngiriambu Farmers Cooperative Society. More than 3,500 small-scale growers from the surrounding area supply coffee cherries to the station; they primarily farm on small plots of land measuring up to one hectare.
They primarily grow the traditional Kenyan varieties SL28 and SL34, known for their high quality and distinctive flavor profile. Thanks to their deep root systems, these varieties adapt well to local conditions and limited water availability.
Processing
Ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked and carefully sorted upon arrival at the Kiri Factory. The pulp is then removed, and the coffee is fermented for approximately 24–36 hours. It is then washed with clean water and soaked for another 24 hours.
Finally, the coffee is dried on raised African drying beds for about 20 days. During drying, the beans are turned regularly and protected from excessive sunlight and nighttime humidity to ensure the process proceeds slowly and evenly.
AB Designation
Kenya is one of the most respected producers of specialty coffee and is known for its emphasis on careful sorting and processing. The AB grade refers to the size of the beans—in this case, they measure approximately 6–7 mm.
