Roaster Notes
Kericho County may not have the same prominence in the coffee world as its not-too-distant cousin to the east, Nyeri County, but in the last decade, it has established itself as a standard of excellence. This region-specific coffee is from an area in the west that is part of the Great Rift Valley. The mild climate and rolling mountains of Kericho make it ideal for coffee and tea production.
