Kichwa Tembo means "elephant head" in Swahili. It's a fitting name for a coffee known for its bold, unmistakable character.

The AA designation refers to the bean's larger screen size, a grading standard unique to Kenya. While bean size doesn't guarantee quality, Kenya's AA coffees have become famous for their remarkable clarity, lively acidity, and expressive fruit character.

In the cup, expect juicy nectarine, tropical fruit, and cooked grapefruit layered over a vibrant citrus acidity and lingering sweetness. Bright, complex, and refreshingly clean, it's everything we love about classic Kenyan coffee.
