African Kahawa Blend

Caramelized toffee, rich dark chocolate, tart cherries, and black currant in a complex African masterpiece.

The Story

"Kahawa," the revered Swahili word for coffee, celebrates the ancestral homeland and vibrant soul of specialty coffee. African Kahawa Blend brings together hand-selected, high-elevation African coffees roasted to an intricate medium-dark level. This profile develops deep caramelized toffee and velvety dark chocolate richness while allowing dazzling, wine-like fruit layers to shine through. From initial notes of golden raisins, crisp green apples, and tart cherries to deep black currant and a lingering floral finish, every pour reveals an evolving tapestry of flavor. Sourced from smallholder farmers who hand-pick, naturally wash, sun-dry, and hand-sort each harvest with pride, it is an extraordinary cup built for true coffee lovers.
