Kenya
Kathendu Cooperative, Meru County, Kenya
Discover this exceptional single origin from coffee farmer Festus Kathendu from the highlands of Kenya – one of our absolute favorite origins that Ivo often raves about. Grown at an altitude of over 1500 meters, Festus produces some of the finest micro-lots in Kenya. You can expect an SL-28 and K7 variety that will delight your palate. The coffee from the Kathendu cooperative named after the farmer from Meru County in north-eastern Kenya has been double-washed and fermented, which creates a beautiful complexity and teases a rich fruitiness out of the bean.
Varieties & Process
SL-28 and K7 are 100% Arabica specialties
Process: Double Washed
Process: Double Washed
Kathendu AA is a selectively hand-picked microlot of the SL-28 and K7 varieties. The former was developed in the 1930s by Scott Agricultural Laboratories (SL for short) as a mutation between Bourbon and Typica. The K7, bred in 1936, is prized for its resistance to coffee berry disease and its Bourbon ancestry, which adds depth and body to the cup. The beans are double washed and then dried on African beds.

Kenya Qualities
Coffees from Kenya are not only very popular with us. They are known for their fine acidity and high flavor intensity, which results in a particularly clean cup. This means that the coffee is free from defects and does not contain any unwanted aromas.
The abbreviation “AA” stands for the quality of the green coffee. Almost every country has its own system for qualifying coffee beans. In East Africa, the following classes are distinguished: AA, AB, A, B, C and PB (the small peaberry beans). Size, shape and the proportion of defective beans are assessed. Kenya AA is the category for the highest quality beans that can end up in your cup.

Important note for recipes on NFC chips:
Please note that this recipe was created using a machine from the current model series (summer 2025). For previous models, it may be necessary to adjust the grind size individually. The manufacturer has made changes to the grinder calibration, which are beyond our control. For older models, the grind size should be set approximately 5–6 levels coarser.
Sustainable cultivation and quality awareness
As with wine, the origin, cultivation and careful harvesting of coffee form the basis for a specialty coffee. We only use ripe and hand-picked 100% Arabica coffee beans for our coffees, as the laborious harvesting by hand is an essential quality criterion. Our highland coffees are natural products and are grown in shady forest gardens in an environmentally friendly way. This preserves the biodiversity of the growing region. The coffee cherries can ripen slowly at cool altitudes with nutritious and fertile soil conditions. Under these optimal climatic conditions near the equator, the coffee plants have more time to develop their characteristic and fruity aromas.
Freshly roasted by hand
All Röststätte coffees are gently roasted by hand in Berlin so that the natural aromas can fully develop without any unwanted acidity. To achieve a pronounced body and a versatile taste profile in the cup, we want to emphasize and optimally process the special features of the respective variety, farm and origin of the coffee with our roasting. The aim is therefore to exploit the full potential of the green coffee through our roasting method in order to emphasize the valuable work of the producers in the countries where the coffee is grown. These are our quality principles – from source to the final cup.
