Ngacha Estate [Yellow Honey]

From TANAT,

Cultivated at Ngacha Estate in the highlands of Kirinyaga, this lot combines two iconic Kenyan varieties, SL28 and SL34, with a Yellow Honey process that leaves more of the mucilage's body and sugars to accompany the drying stage.

Ngacha Estate is a family farm whose history began in 1954. Today, Martin Muriuki, the second generation, continues his father's work by developing benchmark Kenyan varieties and experimenting with different post-harvest treatments.

In the cup, the profile is particularly interesting because it does not try to overplay the fruitiness. The cup begins with redcurrant, offering that sensation of a bright, tart little red fruit. Kumquat then takes over, bringing a finer, almost zesty citrus note. Finally, yellow peach arrives, juicy and sweet. Overall, the cup is balanced and elegant.
