Kenya Ruera Peaberry

This lot is comprised of Batian, K7, Ruiru 11, and SL28 varietals from the Kiambu Region. It is grown at an altitude of 1300MASL in red volcanic, nutrient rich soil. Peaberries occur when only one of two seeds develops inside a coffee cherry, taking a small, rounded shape, rather than developing the normal flat side of a cherry with two coffee beans. Peaberries are naturally occurring, but make up a very small amount of the harvest. They tend to be quite dense, absorbing high heat in the roaster, and the tightly packed cellulose has a high potential for sugar caramelization, resulting in high cup sweetness.

Ruera Estate provides employment to 1,000 people picking and processing coffee on nearly 500 acres of land in Kiambu County, Juja Sub County. It is approximately 15 km from Ruiru town along Kiganjo road. Soils are red volcanic, with the landscape sloping gradually amidst low-lying hills rising above 1,500 meters. The area has two rainy seasons: March to May and October to December; with two corresponding harvest seasons: May to June and November to December. Irrigation of coffee is carried out during the alternate dry seasons.

Every bag begins with a fresh roast, never warehouse stock. We roast coffee in small batches and ship it shortly after, sealing in the vibrant aroma and flavor so it reaches you at its peak. From roast to doorstep, we make sure your coffee’s journey is as short and as fresh as possible.

We aim to process orders within 1–2 business days, though in some cases it may take up to 3–5 business days.

Most orders are then shipped via USPS Priority Mail or USPS First Class/Ground (Local Zones), with an estimated transit time of 1–3 business days from the shipment date. Other carriers may be used at our discretion.

Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number to follow your package every step of the way.

Exceptions may include:

• Peak seasons (such as holidays)
• Special release coffees with limited roast schedules
