Provenance

Where It Comes From

Lost Dutchman Coffee Roasters product range

These high density and high quality Kenya coffee beans were purchased from the Kahiriga, Cooperative. This particular co-op is made up of a group of societies in the region of Muranga County, Kenya. The beans were hulled and graded by Sasani Coffee Mill. Grow nd and milled on the slopes of Mount Kenya.

One of the unique coffee processes typical of Kenya is allowing the coffee to soak in fresh water for approximately twenty-four hours after the fermentation process is complete. This is believed to reduce coffee bitterness.

This is a medium roast. This elegant coffee is powerfully representative of sparkling fruitiness that Kenyans are known for…..black currants and mandarin orange are the best way to describe this wholesome coffee. When roasting, it requires constant attention to coax out the best character the beans have to offer.

Before You Order

Questions

How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?

Orders are typically shipped the same day they are roasted. So, it comes down to how fast the Post Office is. They advertise “from 1-5 business days depending on which state you’re located in.” You’ll receive tracking information via email so you can track the package’s progress.

Which grind should I use?

It’s best not to grind the beans until you’re ready to use them, so grind just before you brew. Match the grind to your brewer: coarse for French press, Medium for most drip brewers. For pour overs: Medium to coarse, whichever gives you a four minute brew time (in general). Fine to very fine for espresso depending on your equipment.

How should I store it?

Keep it in the bag it came in and put a rubber band around it. Glass containers are not great as the idea is to minimize the air (oxygen) around the beans. Unless completely full, glass containers have too much head room. If storing for up to several months, freezing is a good idea as long as the beans are completely sealed (like in the bags they come in). Studies have shown time and again that freezing, if done right, is a good option.

Can I buy this as a subscription?

Currently, subscriptions are limited to a mix of single origin varietals and blends. A single coffee type for the length of the subscription is not an option. You can see how it works on the Coffee Club page.

Do you ship outside Arizona?

Yep. All 50 states.

Can I pick up my order instead of having it shipped?

Yes, you can pick it up at Lost Dutchman Coffee House located at 12 N Center Street in Mesa. Simply select “will pick up” during checkout. We’ll send you a text (or email if you don’t receive texts) when your order is physically at the location. You’ll receive an email notification once the order is “Processed” in our system. This does not mean it is at the pick up location yet. Wait until you receive notification that says, “your order is ready for pick up”.
