Description
A vibrant single origin Kenya AA.
Grown in the highlands of Nyeri, this lot brings the bold, citrusy punch Kenyan coffees are famous for — paired with a rich, chocolatey finish that rounds it out beautifully.
Roasted light-medium, it's best enjoyed as a filter brew: V60, Chemex, Switch, or batch. Expect clarity, complexity, and that classic Kenyan structure — bright upfront, then clean and deep through the finish.
Tasting notes: Mandarin, Yellow Grapefruit, Dark Chocolate
Recommended for: V60, Switch, Chemex, Filter
Kenya AA is a grading based on bean size and density — larger beans, slow-grown at high elevation, packed with flavour.
This lot is fully washed and sun-dried on raised beds, highlighting its sparkling acidity and structured sweetness.
It’s a coffee that cuts through the winter haze with zingy citrus and deep chocolate — one for those who love their brews complex, clean, and unapologetically vibrant.
Shipping & Returns
Shipping
Flat rate $5 NZD, free on orders over $45 (rural addresses add a $5 surcharge regardless of order size).

From there, expect 1–2 business days North Island, 2–3 South Island, plus a day or two extra for rural addresses. You'll get a tracking link the moment it's out the door.

But if something arrives faulty, damaged, or wrong, we'll fix it - full refund or replacement, and we'll cover the return shipping too. Just contact us here with your order number and how we can help you.

FAQ
When will my order be dispatched?
We dispatch orders every weekday at 8am (excluding public holidays), with our courier collecting from the roastery daily. Most orders arrive within 2–5 working days across New Zealand. Once your order has been dispatched, we'll send you a tracking link so you can follow its journey.
How fresh is the coffee?
Freshness is one of the biggest factors in making a great cup of coffee. That's why we roast fresh every weekday and dispatch your order so it arrives right as the coffee reaches its ideal brewing window. Instead of sitting on supermarket shelves for weeks, your coffee is roasted here in West Auckland and delivered fresh to your door.
What is Direct Trade?
Direct Trade means buying coffee directly from the people who grow it. No middlemen, no unnecessary mark-ups, and no exploitation. Through our partnership with Tom and the Mt Elgon Coffee Cooperative in Uganda, we pay above-market prices, provide interseason funding to support farming families between harvests, and regularly visit origin to build long-term relationships. It means better coffee for you and a more sustainable future for the people who produce it.
How do coffee subscriptions work?
A coffee subscription is the easiest way to make sure you never run out of fresh coffee. Choose your favourite coffee, select how often you'd like it delivered, and we'll take care of the rest. You'll receive free shipping* and can pause, skip, change your coffee or cancel anytime. It's one less thing to think about, and fresh coffee simply turns up when you need it.
Good Coffee Tastes Better When You Know Who It's From
90% of coffee is traded on price alone, set by people with no connection to those who grow it. We don't think that's good enough. Direct trade means paying well above the commodity rate, building long-term relationships with the same Ugandan communities since 2018, and funding growers through the off-season. Every bag has helped provide water tanks and cover medical support for Ugandan families. Direct trade isn't a marketing line, it's the reason Mt Atkinson exists.
