Tekangu Ngurunguru AA
History
This is our time working with Tekangu and as with every other year, we’ve tested a range of samples from Kenya, and this one was an absolute stand out!
Tekangu comprises primarily smallholder farms, each typically cultivating around 100 coffee trees. These farmers are organised into Cooperative Societies, which serve as overarching bodies for the factories, known as washing stations. At these stations, smallholders deliver their coffee cherries for processing.
This coffee has a very “classic” Kenyan profile. Rich and juicy with an intensity and depth to its flavour, we experience blackcurrant, pink grapefruit and a great complex acidity.
