​
Fertile clay loam soil and Kenya’s signature coffee varieties underpin this archetypal microlot from the foothills of Mount Kenya. The etymology of Yellowcake symbolises the powerful and unique characteristics of this special coffee from Africa’s heartland. Synonymous with gorgeous rich, buttery textures and a bright jaminess - Yellowcake delivers an outstanding rendition of top shelf speciality coffee. At Unorthodox Roasters we have refined the roasting to draw both its central fruity notes while maintaining the elegant jasmine tea nuances. Classic coffee with a reputation. It delivers. Punchy as espresso yet outrageous as an after-dinner digestif in the cafetiere.

  • The Full Story

    The flowering season at the Inoi Farmers Cooperative  runs from February - April and coffee is harvested from October – January. Once the cherries have been delivered to the washing station in Thaita, they are handsorted so the underripes, insect-damaged, and other defective cherries are removed. The cherries are then pulped and fermented overnight. Once fermentation is complete, the parchment is washed and separated. The farmers from this cooperative use cherry pulp, mixed together with cow manure, as fertiliser for their farmland. A naturally organic way of ensuring coffee farming is sustainable.
