Omni Roast

a Kenyan classic expressed with clarity and depth. grown in the nutrient-rich highlands of Kirinyaga, this lot showcases the distinct character of the region - refined, vibrant, and deeply sweet. managed by the Baragwi Farmers’ Cooperative Society, the Guama Factory is known for its consistent execution and farmer-first approach.

the result is a clean, layered expression of Kenyan terroir - where bright black currant and lemon curd meet the refinement of black tea, finishing with an intensely sweet, lingering complexity.

resting our coffees

cafēn coffees are roasted to order. in the days that follow, freshly roasted coffee continues to evolve. as carbon dioxide gradually releases, the coffee begins to truly open up - harsh, roasty, or astringent notes soften, allowing a sweeter, cleaner, and more expressive cup to emerge.

resting gives the coffee space for its true character to shine.

we recommend resting our coffees for at least 14 days after the roast date. denser or high-elevation lots often reach their peak between 3 to 6 weeks.

producer

this lot was produced by smallholder farmers delivering to the Guama Factory in Kirinyaga County, central Kenya. the factory is part of the Baragwi Farmers' Cooperative Society, established in 1974 and known for its strong quality control and transparent operations. farmers cultivate varieties including SL28, SL34, Batian, and Ruiru 11, grown in rich volcanic soils at elevations ranging from 1,600–1,800 MASL.

processing

cherries are hand-sorted, pulped, and fermented overnight, then washed and graded. drying takes place on raised African beds for 8-14 days, with protective covering during peak heat and overnight. this traditional Kenyan washed process highlights the coffee’s clarity, brightness, and complexity.
