Vertigo - a Kenya AA, light roast, from Kirinyaga, Kenya

🏆 Best of Summit — Best Coffee Roaster, 1st Place Winner

There's a reason this coffee stops people mid-sip. Vertigo is a Kenya AA sourced from the Kiunyu Washing Station in Kirinyaga — a region defined by its rich red volcanic soils and meticulous wet-mill tradition. With over 3,000 contributing smallholder farmers delivering hand-picked, red-ripe cherries, every lot is a testament to collective craft.

Processed using the traditional washed method — fermented overnight, washed clean, and dried on raised beds — Vertigo delivers the clarity and brightness Kenya is celebrated for. In the cup, expect a vivid hit of zesty grapefruit, a grounding sweetness of raw sugar, and a lingering herbaceous lemongrass finish that keeps you reaching for another sip.
