Thunguri - Kirinyaga, Kenya

Tasting notes: Juicy and intense. Sweet notes of blackcurrant and raspberry.

A micro lot of washed coffee of the AA grade, the highest quality of Kenyan coffee. The coffee is processed at the Thunguri washing station, located at the foot of Mount Kenya in the renowned Kirinyaga coffee region.

Thunguri secured Solberg & Hansen bronze in the Global Coffee Awards 2025 in the Filter – Washed category.

Kenya AA is coffee of the highest quality, known for its clean, fruity taste. A taste that gives an extra sweet, almost tantalizing, mouthfeel and has distinct notes of blackcurrant. AA beans are grown at an altitude of over 1700 meters and are carefully sorted for size and appearance. To qualify for the AA grade, the beans must be 7.2 mm in diameter, neither larger nor smaller, and have no visible defects. This avoids the green coffee containing beans that gets over- or under-roasted, and achieves an even roasting of the coffee. Coffee beans that do not meet the requirements for AA are sorted as, for example, AB, which is the second highest quality of Kenyan coffee.
