Kenya - Kamundu Estate
Red fruits, tropical, berries. Kenya done natural and roasted light, from Ruiru 11, SL28 and SL34. Bonlife recommends drip and pour-over, and that's the lane: brewed clean, this should be a fruit-first cup. Expect fruit-forward.
Pick it if red fruits, tropical and berries sound good to you.
Best for Filter brewers chasing a fruit-forward Kenyan

Peppercorn is the odd one out here, sitting between guava and jasmine, and it's what makes this listing interesting. Light-roasted washed Kenyan from Mount Kenya, grown at 1,600 to 2,000 meters. Not a one-note fruit bomb on paper: fruit, spice and flowers together.
Pick it if guava, peppercorn and jasmine sound good to you.
Best for Drinkers who like a little spice with their fruit
