The Kenya MISADHI BLUE MOUNTAIN is a coffee that offers a unique sensory experience thanks to its intense fruitiness and velvety sweetness. The Gringo Nordic roastery carefully selected this lot from the production of Misadhi Coffee Society, a group of farmers specializing in innovative fermentation methods. In the cup, a rich fruity spectrum dominates – sweet cherry, exotic passion fruit, and a subtle wine-like aftertaste reminiscent of sultanas. Thanks to anaerobic processing, the coffee is complex, with a silky body and a long aftertaste. This lot is the perfect choice for those looking for an unusual coffee profile with a deep layer of flavors and a distinctive character.
This exclusive lot comes from the Misadhi Coffee Society, a group of farmers from the Etago region, part of the Homa Bay, Migori, and Kisii regions in Kenya. The society focuses on experimental processing methods and continuous quality improvement. The coffee grows at higher altitudes, over 1400 meters above sea level, where the Blue Mountain and Batian varieties are cultivated. The harvest takes place between April and June 2024, with farmers carefully selecting only perfectly ripe cherries. After harvesting, the cherries are transported to the Misadhi Society processing station, where they undergo strict selection to ensure the highest quality of the final product.
This lot underwent a 96-hour anaerobic fermentation, which the farmers call Etago Extra Special. The coffee cherries were fermented in a closed environment with controlled pH, which was not allowed to drop below 3.5. This process took place in special fermentation tanks with pressure valves, allowing precise fermentation control. After the fermentation was complete, the cherries were dried for 21 days on elevated beds until their moisture content reached an optimal 12%. After drying, the coffee was stored in a controlled environment, then hulled and sorted on gravity separators, where lighter and lower-quality beans were separated. Final hand sorting ensured that only the best beans made it into the select category, delivering a unique flavor experience full of fruity tones and velvety sweetness.
