Rising Star Kanake
Here I have my 2nd bean from Rising Star Coffee out of Cleveland, Ohio. Their philosophy about coffee is simple. Buy dang good coffee and pay the farmer and the producer enough money to live and maybe even enjoy life. That’s it. Their coffee isn’t fair trade, free trade, direct trade, or any other model. Their coffee is Relationship Coffee. They know who they buy coffee from, and they know what makes their coffee unique, and they want to share that with us. When they roast, they roast to highlight the decisions of the farmers and the producers, to make sure that their personality and hard work comes through in our cup. Their coffees are sweet, lively, bold and clean. They are happy to say that all of their coffees are now certified Kosher, as well.
This is their Kanake bean. This is a washed bean from Nyeri, Kenya. Rising Star notes flavors of marshmallow, grapefruit, & orange soda. I brewed this at my 1:12 ratio. Great citrus acidity in this cup of cold brew. Nice syrupy mouthfeel. The citrus in this is killer.
Many thanks to Brandon & Rising Star for the tasty beans.
