Savor the vibrant and intricate flavors of our Kenya Kirimiri AA single origin coffee, with tasting notes of honeydew, lime, and raspberry. This complex cup balances sweet and tart elements, featuring subtle hints of citrus, tangerine and lemon citrus. Herbal coffee with a unique floral quality common of an Ethiopia.
One of Mike Perry's favorites: Kenya Kirimiri AA is Klatch Coffee's Roastmaster, Mike Perry's go-to coffee bean for a good cup of joe. It's so good, he takes 3lbs home each week so he can enjoy it any time he likes.

About New Kirimiri FCS Washing Station Cooperative of Kenya
New Kirimiri FCS is a single washing station cooperative, this is quite unusual in Kenya as most of the cooperatives have several affiliated washing stations. It is located in Kanja, Embu County. In this area, a lot of farmers have planted the traditional SL varieties, in particular SL34. Cherries collected from the 900 member farmers are sorted before being pulped. The parchment is then fermented overnight, before being washed and graded. After that, it is dried on the drying tables for 8-14 days.

Klatch
Klatch \ˈklach, ˈkläch\ --People getting together to share life, especially over coffee.
And that’s what Klatch Coffee has been about since owner Mike Perry decided to follow his passion for quality coffee. While in college, he asked himself, "Why not bring together the charm and comfort of a traditional coffeehouse and serve world class specialty coffees?" And so he did. In 1993, he and his wife, Cindy, opened their first location in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, called it Coffee Klatch (later changed to the present name, Klatch Coffee), and began searching the world for the cream of the coffee crops, and small-batch roasting that top 1% of specialty beans to coax the best flavors and aromas from them.
Now, with five locations (plus their roastery) in Southern California as well as a shop in LAX United Terminal, Mike and his family and their dedicated team have built on that foundation of being a place where people love to linger over truly special coffee. Meanwhile, they’re making history one award at a time. A few of these include:
Prestigious Golden Bean Awards
Only espresso ever awarded "Best Espresso in the World" at the World Barista Championships (2007)
U.S Brewers’ Cup Champion
Good Food awards winner
Mike says, “Our commitment to honest business practices means we build trust and loyalty with the farmers we work with. All of this is accomplished through a Direct Trade model and a simple handshake.”
