Kenya

Some coffees whisper. This one arrives like lightning over the ridgeline. Grown in Othaya, Nyeri County — nearly two kilometers into the sky — these famed Kenyan varieties crackle with the kind of brightness Thor would approve of: orange, lemon, and a floral, almost effervescent finish.

Fully washed and dried on raised beds in the highland sun, it is a cup for mornings that demand you wake all the way up. Raise it before the day's battles, however ordinary they may be.
