Kenya Oreti Estate AA

The roast is remarkably consistent, and that 90-acre ridge terroir gives it a clean, bright finish that lingers just right. I brewed a pour-over this morning and the cup was so smooth I didn't even reach for sugar.

The altitude really shows in the cup—that bright, complex acidity you only get from high-grown Kenyan beans like this Oreti estate. Brewed a pour-over this morning and the finish was incredibly clean, a solid step up from my usual bag.

The crema on this one is gorgeous—thick and honey-toned—and you can really taste the estate's high-altitude terroir in every sip. Knowing it's from a family-run 90-acre plot below the Aberdares makes the morning ritual feel a little more special.
