Flavor Profile
Meet Tambaya Nyeri AB – a top-tier Kenyan coffee from the highlands of Nyeri, known for producing some of the most iconic African coffees.
In every sip, you’ll find bright citrus acidity, the body of black tea, and fruity notes of raspberry and green apple.
All thanks to nutrient-rich volcanic soil, high elevation, and Kenya’s unmatched terroir.
This coffee is a true flavor bomb – juicy, layered, and unforgettable.
The Story Behind This Coffee
Each bean of Tambaya Nyeri AB tells a story of generational craftsmanship and terroir-driven excellence.
Sourced from Tambaya Factory, part of the Othaya Farmers’ Cooperative Society, this coffee represents the combined effort of over 600 smallholder farmers in the Nyeri region.
These family-run farms have spent decades perfecting their craft. With small plots and deep tradition, their focus is not on quantity – but on exceptional quality. And that shines through in every cup.
Cultivation & Harvest
Grown at 1,600 meters above sea level in Kenya’s fertile volcanic soil, the coffee cherries mature slowly under cool mountain climates – allowing for deeper, more complex flavor development.
Here you’ll find legendary Kenyan varietals like SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, and Batian – famous for their vibrant acidity, wine-like character, and full body.
Cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness, fully washed using pure mountain spring water, and dried slowly on raised African beds – a process that enhances sweetness, clarity, and that signature Kenyan fruit-forward punch.
Exceptional Coffee with an Exceptional Score
Every specialty coffee is graded – and to earn that title, it must score above 80 points in cupping tests. Tambaya Nyeri AB more than qualifies.
Mass-produced supermarket coffees fall short of that mark, focusing on volume over quality.
Cupping scores give you a fast, transparent way to understand what’s in your cup – and this one ranks among the best.
Best Brewing Methods
To unlock its juicy acidity and layered complexity, we recommend using methods like V60, Chemex, Kalita Wave, or Aeropress.
Use medium grind size and fresh filtered water – and let Kenya do the rest.
This is the kind of coffee that makes you slow down, sip twice, and think: damn, that’s good.
