Navigator's Reserve - December 2025: Broad Reach – Kenya Kirinyaga Washed

Broad Reach - Kenya Kirinyaga Washed from Skipper’s Remedy® sets a new course for December’s Navigator’s Reserve: Coffee of the Month. This limited-edition roast is a stunning expression of Kenyan (AA) high-elevation coffee ...lively, elegant, and crafted for those who appreciate a cup with both clarity and depth. With a Medium/Light roast profile, Broad Reach highlights the natural vibrancy of Kirinyaga’s renowned terroir, delivering a cup that’s bright yet grounded, refined yet expressive.

Sourced from Kariru Farm, a family-operated estate since the 1960s, this offering benefits from the extraordinary conditions on the volcanic slopes of snow-capped Mount Kenya. Here, coffee thrives in rich, well-drained soils, cooled by crisp highland air and nourished by evenly distributed rainfall. These ideal growing conditions ...paired with meticulous hand-sorting of cherries and precise washed processing on raised beds ...result in exceptional clarity of flavor. Expect radiant notes of dark chocolate, grapefruit, and both red and green grapes, each shining through with the distinctive brightness that SL28, SL34, and Ruiru 11 varietals are celebrated for.

Like a steady broad reach on open water, this roast offers effortless momentum ...smooth, confident, and full of character. Broad Reach - Kenya Kirinyaga Washed is crafted exclusively for those charting new flavor horizons in our Navigator’s Reserve. A rare, radiant cup for your favorite morning ritual, it’s a reminder that the finest journeys begin with thoughtfully sourced beans and an unwavering commitment to quality.
