Kenya Embu Coffee | Fresh Roast 1lb Whole Bean
VIBRANT. CITRUS. EFFERVESCENT.
Exceptional coffee is defined by freshness, which is why we bypass the practice of stocking pre-roasted inventory. Every batch of ORI COFFEE is precision-roasted on a frequent, rolling schedule to maintain peak vibrancy. We prioritize rapid fulfillment—processing and shipping your order immediately following our most recent roast cycle—to ensure the distinctive notes of our single-origin harvests reach your doorstep at their absolute peak of flavor.
A masterpiece of high-altitude cultivation, our selection from Embu County is a testament to the meticulous work of the New Runyenjes Farmers Cooperative Society. This single-origin offering is defined by its remarkable complexity and a vibrant acidity that sets it apart from any other region.

The Origin Story: Grown in the legendary Embu County at altitudes reaching up to 1,800 Meters, these beans represent a blend of the iconic SL28, SL34, and Ruiru 11 varieties. This lot underwent a meticulous Fully Washed process and was Dried on Raised Beds, ensuring every sip reflects the pure, terroir-driven essence of the Embu landscape.
The Ritual: To best experience the effervescence and floral nuances, we recommend a precision pour-over (Hario V60 or Chemex) or an immersion brew like the Aeropress. It also performs exceptionally well as a bright, zesty single-origin espresso.
