Hewa

Summary

Hewa is a Kenyan coffee from the Nyeri County highlands, grown by smallholder farmers on red volcanic soils at 1600-2200 masl. This lot is processed using the washed method with controlled fermentations of 25-36 hours in cement tanks and sun-dried on raised beds. Composed of SL28 and SL34 varieties, it scores 85 and offers a fruity, sweet profile with notes of raspberry jam, cocoa, orange, and red cranberry. It has a medium body and medium-high acidity, with a roast designed for filter brewing to highlight its expressiveness and cleanliness. The coffee is mostly AA grade, reflecting a rigorous selection of large, uniformly developed beans.
