Kapsakisio was one of the very first Kenyan's we offered at Commonfolk so we decided that there's no time like the present to rekindle the flame. Kapsakisio lies on the Kenyan side of Mt Elgon opposite our Ugandan partners Zukuka Bora. A similar temperate microclimate, fertile volcanic soil and high altitude leads to equally complex and exciting coffees. The 2019/20 harvest is no exception producing a coffee of exquisite complexity and clarity. Distinct notes of blackcurrant and lavender aroma are followed by a bright sparkling cherry acidity.</p> <button type="button" class="collapsible">DEEP DIVE +</button> <div class="content"> <br> <p><b>PRODUCER :   </b>Kapsakisio Farmers Cooperative Society</p> <p><b>CROP YEAR :   </b>2020</p> <p><b>COUNTRY :   </b>Kenya</p> <p><b>REGION :   </b>Mt Elgon</p> <p><b>ELEVATION :   </b>1950 MASL</p> <p><b>VARIETAL :   </b>SL28 &amp; SL34</p> <p><b>PROCESSING :   </b>WASHED</p> <p><b>IMPORTER/PARTNER :   </b><a href="https://www.cafeimports.com/australia">Cafe Imports</a></p> <p><b><a>GEO TAG</a></b>     <a>DOWNLOAD PDF</a></p> <br> </div> <button type="button" class="collapsible">ESPRESSO RECIPE +</button> <div class="content"> <br> <p><b>ESPRESSO MACHINE</b><br>This is just a starting place.
