Kiriani Peaberry2016

$65.00
Notes of Citrus, Currant Jam, Rosehip
Since we first began preserving green coffee through freezing about ten years ago, the practice has become a fundamental part of our sourcing philosophy, roasting style, and commitment to quality consistency at Passenger. This 2016 Kiriani Estate Peaberry lot is not only one of the longest-preserved coffees remaining in our archive, but also the finest example of the efficacy of green coffee preservation that we’ve tasted to date. The outstanding depth of sweetness, jammy blackcurrant note, and vibrant citrus tones still present in this coffee, roughly a decade after harvest, unlock a time capsule of the flavor profile that has always defined our favorite Kenyan coffees.

Lot:

2016 Kiriani Peaberry

Kiriani Estate is located in Murang’a county, which is immediately south of famed coffee producing region of Nyeri. When Passenger initially presented this lot back in 2016, it was released alongside AA and AB separations from the same harvest at Kiriani that year. While the AA and AB lots are lost to history, we are delighted to be able to share the last of this dynamic peaberry lot, roughly a decade since its original harvest date.

Preserving Green Coffee

Archival coffee preservation through freezing is arguably the most important strategy we have adopted in support of the sourcing philosophy, roasting style, and standard of quality consistency that we are committed to pursuing at Passenger. Freezing coffee has been a core element of our approach since the beginning, and currently 100% of our green (unroasted) coffees, including microlots, Foundational offerings, and blend components are kept carefully preserved in frozen storage.
