Kenya Muriuki Yellow Honey
Ngacha Coffee Estate – Yellow Honey Process
Discover the rich heritage of Kenyan coffee with this exceptional offering from Ngacha Coffee Estate, a family-run farm established in 1954 and nestled at 1,683 meters above sea level. Crafted with care and tradition, this coffee showcases the remarkable SL28 and SL34 varietals and is processed using the meticulous Yellow Honey method.
Why You’ll Love This Coffee
SL28 and SL34 are world-renowned for their vibrant flavors, bright acidity, and complex profiles. These varietals thrive in Kenya’s high-altitude volcanic soils, producing a cup that is bursting with citrus, berry, and floral notes—a true hallmark of Kenyan coffee.
Yellow Honey Process: This coffee was dried via a Yellow Honey process, a method that enhances sweetness and body while preserving the coffee’s clarity and vibrancy. After harvesting, only the ripest cherries are pulped with minimal water, leaving 15-20% of the fruit’s mucilage intact. The coffee is then carefully heaped for a day to ferment aerobically before being spread on African raised beds to dry under controlled sunlight. This intricate process results in a beautifully balanced cup with honeyed sweetness, silky body, and a delicate fruity finish.
Why Kenyan Coffee Stands Out: Kenya is celebrated for producing some of the finest coffees in the world, known for their exceptional quality, vivid acidity, and unique flavor profiles. The country’s ideal growing conditions—rich volcanic soil, high altitudes, and consistent rainfall—combine with meticulous processing methods to create coffees that are bright, juicy, and unforgettable.

Coffee is best enjoyed at its peak, where its natural flavors and aromas shine brightest. Follow these simple tips to ensure every cup of Seekers Coffee is a perfect one:
1. Let It Rest
Freshly roasted coffee needs a little time to breathe. For optimal flavor, all roasted coffee beans to rest for 3–7 days after roasting to brew properly. This gives the coffee time to de-gas, enhancing its complexity and balance.
Lighter roasted coffees such as ours benefit from longer rest times, and stored well in an oxygen-free environment, can find giving peak flavors as late as 6-8 weeks after rest.
2. Store It Right
To preserve freshness:
• Keep coffee in an airtight container.
• Store it in a cool, dark place, away from light, heat, and moisture.
• If you choose to store in the freezer, make sure to seal properly, to prevent any moisture and odors from seeping into the beans.
3. Grind Fresh
Grind your coffee just before brewing to maintain its peak aroma and flavor. Use a burr grinder for consistent particle size, which leads to better extraction.
4. Use Clean Water
Water makes up 98% of your coffee, so its quality matters. Use filtered water heated to 195–205°F (90–96°C) for the best results.
5. Measure Precisely
For a balanced brew, use a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:16 (e.g., 15g of coffee for 240g of water). Adjust slightly to suit your taste.
6. Brew Mindfully
Choose a brewing method that matches your flavor preferences:
• Pour-over: Clean, vibrant flavors.
• Espresso: Concentrated sweetness and depth.
• French Press: Full-bodied, rich profile.
7. Drink at the Right Time
Enjoy your coffee before 6-8 weeks after roast for peak flavor. After that, while it’s still drinkable, the complexity and brightness will begin to fade.
By following these steps, you’ll experience Seekers Coffee as it’s meant to be—vibrant, balanced, and profoundly enjoyable
