Description
Kenya Kiri Kirinyaga AB is a fully washed arabica from the Kiri factory in Kirinyaga, in the heart of Kenya’s central highlands. Roasted to a medium profile, it gives berries, fruit confit and dried figs — vibrant, layered and sweet, with the structure that makes the best Kenyan lots so memorable.
Available as a one-off purchase or on a subscription.
Where it comes from
Kirinyaga sits on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya, where smallholders deliver cherry to factory washing stations like Kiri for pulping, fermentation and drying on raised beds. Fully washed processing removes the fruit before drying, which is why Kenyan coffee tastes so clean and precise — the acidity is the coffee’s own, not fermentation. AB is a screen size just below AA: slightly smaller beans, often a touch more concentrated in flavour.
What it tastes like
Blackberry and red berry first, then a jammy fruit-confit middle and a dried-fig sweetness on the finish. Acidity is bright and structured, body is medium-full, and the aftertaste hangs around long after the cup is empty. Filter and pour-over show the layers best; as espresso it is intense and, if you like fruit in your shot, genuinely special.
Your grind, ground to order
Choose Whole Bean if you grind at home, or have it ground for Filter, Cafetière, Chemex, Aeropress, Espresso or Stove Top. We grind to order, so the coffee is ground for your brewer on the day it ships rather than months before.
Sizes: 250g, 500g and 1kg bags, plus an 80g taster bag. The 80g bag is there so you can try a coffee before committing to a larger one.
Why buy your coffee from Tank Coffee
We roast to order rather than to stock, so your beans are packed within days of leaving the roaster instead of sitting in a warehouse. Everything is roasted by hand in small batches by Garth, our master roaster, and every bag leaves us whole bean or ground exactly as you asked for it.
We buy directly and fairly from the farms and cooperatives we name on this page, and our roasting has earned Great Taste Awards gold — judged on what is in the cup, not on what is on the label. Buy once or set up a subscription: you choose the delivery rhythm, you can change or cancel it from your account at any time, and there is no lock-in.
