Categorised by our importer as “Bomu la Matunda,” a phrase that literally translates to “fruit bomb” - which also reminds me of that Venga Boys song Boom Boom Boom, but that is truly besides the point.

Anyone who has been following along knows that last year when we had our first natural Kenya (ever!) it was pretty riotous. It really was a fruit bomb, kind of like that Tom Jones song Sex Bomb, but with fruit.

This year is no different, and the Pearless Estate have outdone themselves a second time round with this berry sweet, lactic vanilla, jammy espresso. A mix of the varietals SL28, SL34, and Ruiru11, grown at an altitude of 1400 - 1600 masl (for reference, Amsterdam sits at 2 masl).
