Some coffees reward your curiosity. Subra is exactly that kind of Kenya – intense, winey and with a depth that makes every sip interesting. It brings dark fruit and tropical character while staying structured and very drinkable.

This lot comes from the Ndurutu washing station in Nyeri Central, Kenya, grown at 1,700–1,720 meters above sea level. The station has been operating since 1999 and today works with over 527 smallholder farmers growing mainly SL28, SL34 and Ruiru 11 on volcanic soils. The process is a long anaerobic natural with a unique Sleeping Bag drying technique: after selective handpicking and sorting by ripeness, the cherries undergo anaerobic fermentation for 300+ hours, then dry using the Sleeping Bag method, which concentrates sweetness and develops the winey, fruit-forward character in the cup. SCA score 88.50.

Why you’ll love it

If you enjoy coffees that are bold, fruity and expressive with a winey edge, this one works really well. It has rich chocolate, bright passion fruit and juicy berry notes, with a long complex finish that makes it great for filter brewing when you want something with real character.

Made by TRIGGER

Subra is a good example of how much a modern anaerobic process can unlock in a classic Kenyan terroir. Nyeri, volcanic soil, SL28 – all the building blocks are there, and the 300+ hour fermentation does the rest. Roasted in Warsaw with a focus on intensity, clarity and everyday drinkability.
