Kii AA is the kind of Kenyan coffee that reminds you why the profile became a benchmark: vivid fruit, lifted acidity, and a precise structure that never feels thin.
The cup opens with blackcurrant and red cherry before moving into tomato leaf, citrus peel, and a quiet savory finish. Tim Wendelboe's roast stays very light, but the sweetness has enough depth to keep the acidity from dominating.
