As a family, they now own a total of 1,000 trees and continue to build on their legacy of quality coffee production. This particular lot was produced as a part of the Retro 1984 project and is a fully washed, pure SL28 separation.  The level of flavor complexity and clarity in this coffee is among the best we've tasted from Kenya in recent memory.
