That espresso doesn't always have to be dark, sweet-bitter, and heavy, served in a small cup with a base, is a long-known fact. The example of modern espresso, with its bright acidity and fruity notes, has been roasted under the careful supervision of two dachshunds by local coffee celebrities The Naughty Dog. You can expect a fruitily sweet coffee with high acidity, with flavors reminiscent of strawberries and sweet lemons, with a lingering finish of nougat chocolate.
Endebess Estate is a prestigious coffee farm in western Kenya, located in the fertile area of Trans-Nzoia, near Mount Elgon. The farm sits at a high altitude of 1,900 meters above sea level, which, combined with volcanic soil and an ideal climate, provides excellent conditions for growing high-quality coffee. The main varieties grown here are the popular SL28 and SL34, known for their distinctive acidity and complex flavors. Typical notes include citrus, apple, and sweet caramel. Endebess Estate is synonymous with quality and an authentic Kenyan coffee experience.
Dry processing, also known as natural processing, is one of the oldest methods of processing coffee after harvest. It is often used in areas with water shortages, especially in Africa and dry regions of Latin America. In this method, coffee beans are dried directly in the fruit, meaning the cherries are left in the sun, regularly turned, and covered during bad weather. When done correctly, this process results in a coffee with a unique, complex flavor. Since there is no contact with water, this method effectively prevents the development of overly fermented, pronounced, fermented flavors in the coffee.
