Details
The coffees from Karogoto are always super clean and have an intense fruity and floral flavor. This is most likely because many of the members/farmers are still growing the SL28 cultivar and have received a lot of agricultural training over the years. The climatic conditions also contribute to the coffees intensity. The cool nights and moderately hot days slow down the ripening process and give a very sweet, intense and unique coffee.

This year we bought two different lots from Karogoto with slightly different flavor profiles. The first lot we sold in July 2025 was a lot that tastes really ripe and fruity like blackberry and blackcurrants probably due to a slightly prolonged fermentation. This current lot is more like the classic coffees from Karogoto which tend to have a lighter body and high acidity with tart rose hip flavors.  This demonstrates that even though the coffees from Karogoto tend to be quite consistent in quality there are always small variations in flavor profiles depending on the quality of the coffee cherries they receive from the farmers. Also the differences in lot size will affect the processing protocols and especially the fermentation time.
