Coffee Description
This top quality coffee (graded Kenya AA) comes to us from the southern foothills of Mt. Kenya. The cup is mellow and soft with notes of ripe plum and dark chocolate brightened by a lively lime zest. The aroma and initial flavor is a delightfully nostalgic sweet creamy tomato sauce, reminding many of us of Spaghetti-os (in the best possible way).

About Rungeto Farmer Cooperative Society (FCS) of Kenya
This coffee was grown in the southern foothills of Mt. Kenya in the agrarian county of Kirinyaga. The region is well-known for its small coffee farms and snow-capped mountain peaks. Kirinyaga is the Kikuyu name for Mt. Kenya and translates roughly to "mountain of whiteness" or "mountain of brightness". The local Kikuyu people believe that the mountain is sacred and their god Ngai, also known as Mwene Nyaga, lives in the snow on the highest peaks. The Kikuyu still build their homes with the doors facing the mountain.

Red Rooster
Established in 2010 in downtown Floyd, VA (pop 432), Red Rooster was created with the simple notion of roasting excellent coffee for the owner’s existing coffee house. While we've won numerous awards and accolades for our coffee quality, our true passion is in making a positive social impact both at home and abroad at the coffee's origin.
