House Mates Subscription Coffee

Nyota, meaning “star” in Swahili, celebrates the classic coffee profile of Kenya’s Central Highlands. Rather than coming from a single farm, Nyota is a regional selection bringing together coffees grown by smallholder farmers working through cooperatives across some of Kenya’s highest-altitude coffee-growing areas.The coffee is processed using Kenya’s traditional washed method. Ripe cherries are pulped before undergoing controlled fermentation, followed by thorough washing to remove the remaining mucilage. This careful process contributes to the clarity, structure and consistency for which coffees from the region are known.Following processing, the coffee is prepared at the dry mill, where beans are carefully graded and screen-sized. Nyota is selected to the AB grade, creating a consistent lot while retaining the distinctive character of the Central Highlands.The result is a coffee rooted in one of the world’s most celebrated growing regions, bringing together the work of many small producers in a profile that is unmistakably Kenyan.
