August 63 Kiriga Filter

Floral & light
Your coffee is sweet, light and carries a subtle fragrance similar to flowers. It combines fruity tones, bright acidity and a medium to heavy body.
Acidity
Like a lively sparkle that adds a hint of sweetness and fruity flavor. It is what makes your taste buds tingle, reminiscent of biting into a crisp apple or sipping a tarty cherry juice. This lively trait brings coffee to life in a unique way.
Bitterness
Like a pinch of seasoning, bitterness enhances coffee’s complexity. It is a balancing act with too little, the coffee may taste overly sweet or tangy. Robusta beans are naturally more bitter than Arabica due to the higher levels of these compounds. Light-medium roasts offer a pleasant bitterness, while darker roasts yield a stronger, lingering bitter sensation. Keep in mind, that taste varies – what is bitter to you might be enjoyable to others.
Body
Refers to how a coffee feels in your mouth – it is like the weight and texture that you sense as you sip. Imagine it as the difference between whole milk feeling rich and creamy compared to skim milk feeling lighter. Body gives coffee a sense of substance and depth, making each sip a satisfying experience.
Sweetness
Coffee’s link to fruitiness isn’t always obvious, but the beans are loaded with carbs and amino acids inherited from the coffee cherry. When roasted, these carbs become the building blocks of sweetness, like the simple sugars found in fruits. Through the Maillard reaction (roasting), they transform into the cozy sweetness we enjoy, reminding us of the cherry’s natural flavours.

Everything about the product

This is what August 63 says about the producers and the cultivation of the Kiriga filter:

The Kiriga Estate, where this filter coffee comes from, is located in the Murang'a district in central Kenya. The farm is family owned and operated by farmer Brian Gakunga. The coffee plants, mostly SL varieties, are between 50 and 70 years old. The coffee was sourced directly from value-added coffee in Hückeswagen - it was imported directly and without intermediaries. In this way, coffee farmers receive a significantly higher amount for their coffee and the economy and living conditions in the region are sustainably improved. By purchasing this coffee you are actively supporting the NGO Crossroads Kenya. Crossroads Kenya is a voluntary organization that aims to reintegrate ex-offenders into society and give them a second chance.

This is what August 63 says about the preparation and taste of the Kiriga filter:

Kiriga filter coffee is best prepared as a hand filter or in a filter coffee machine. These methods result in a clear, tangy sweetness that is very reminiscent of juicy currants. A really nice Kenyan coffee that is atypical for Kenya as you can also taste light black tea and hibiscus notes. The perfect coffee for every morning!

August 63 has had the Kiriga in its range for two harvests and it feels like it is getting better every year. You can see how much infrastructure and manufacturing processes have improved in Kenya in recent years - and Kiriga is the best example of this.
