The second coffee we ever released back in 2023 came from a group of producers in Murang’a County, Kenya, organized near Gondo Factory. Though it was our second release, we called it Birthday Cake to commemorate our zero-th birthday. Fast forward to this summer: we were looking at the offerings of one of our import partners, and we saw coffee from Gondo Factory again. When we sampled it, we were shocked: oftentimes coffees can vary a lot from year to year, but this one was a near duplicate of the coffee we tried way back when. We’re calling it Yellow Cake this time around, and the name is apt: it has a nice fudgy body, top notes of lemon zest, and a bit of white sugar in the midtones that give it a very dessert-forward profile. It definitely isn’t the typical washed Kenyan coffee, and it’s one where very happy to offer once again!
Yellow Cake costs $23, and we'll be roasting our next batch 07 July.
