Single Origin, dark roast with sweet and savory notes and a thick, rich body.
Coffee story and the Coffee Belt
This single origin peaberry is from the Kirinyaga region of Kenya. A dense, high altitude coffee with tropical notes and a thick mouthfeel.
The Coffee Belt is the geographic region between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn where coffee beans are primarily grown. Tropical conditions, rich volcanic soils, and heavy rainfall create beans prized for sweet, complex flavor and velvety body.
This coffee comes from Kirinyaga County, one of the most fertile growing regions of Kenya.
A peaberry develops when a coffee cherry produces just one round seed instead of the usual two.

The story behind the coffee
John & Kyeni: Navigating Autism’s Global Challenges
Let us introduce you to John Ngui and his son, Auri Kyeni Ngui. Kyeni was diagnosed with autism at age two. John has made it his mission to better understand autism and help his son navigate the world.
"The quest for Kenyan coffee in Kansas City allowed me to rediscover coffee in a new way as a natural, non-prescriptive remedy for hyperactivity. Kyeni no longer takes medication for hyperactivity or impulsive behavior. I wonder why coffee has always been my peaceful and relaxing retreat."
Coffee Cherries and Kyeni’s Smile
During a visit to his grandfather’s Kenyan farm, Kyeni had a transformative encounter with coffee cherries that sparked a profound journey of connection and confidence.
Coffee, Confidence, and Kyeni
Each time Kyeni completes a coffee shift at school, he comes home confident and energized.
"Kyeni’s mind is puzzlingly complex. Like a coffee cherry, he is sometimes bright and vibrant, other times undergoing transformation. All require one indispensable variant: heat."
