The technology behind

Steeped

Just add filtered water to enjoy one of our picks of the season.

These Steeped bags are a simple and elegant way to present a selection of the coffees we find most exciting, removing many brewing variables, and allowing quality and character to shine.

Individual doses are ground and sealed in nitrogen-flushed packages, maintaining the clear aromatic character of freshly ground coffee, for over a year after roasting.

Simple brewing

Steeped

The brewing process is incredibly straightforward, simply pour 220 ml of filtered water over one Steeped bag, dunk, wait and enjoy. This makes the bags ideal on the go, while travelling or outdoors, anywhere you don’t have access to your normal coffee set up.

Each Steeped bag corresponds to one cup of coffee, use several to brew a larger batch.

Using filtered water with a low mineral content is still essential for the best experience. Read more about water for coffee brewing here.

Kenya

Muringato

This lot was grown at the Peerless Estate, located just north of the town of Nyeri, in the heart of the famed Nyeri coffee region. Peerless was originally founded by British settlers in the 1920’s, but ownership was handed to the Kiguta family when Kenya gained its independence in 1963. The third generation of Kigutas are now running the Estate, one of the largest remaining in Kenya.

Over the past few years, estates have had the advantage of experimentation over the traditional large scale cooperative system in Kenya. Instead of risking the work of several thousand smallholders by experimenting with processing, an estate can take a calculated risk with their own production on a smaller scale, using novel fermentation methods to create new expressions of the traditional Kenyan profile. This lot is one such method, utilising a full natural process to create a rich and soft expression of Kenya, almost like stewing the traditional ripe red berry notes. The cherries are dried on the same raised beds used for the traditional Kenyan washed process, taking about 20 days under the intense African sun. The very ripe, almost stewed fruit notes are reminiscent of the traditional blackcurrant and plum, while being joined by interesting violet-like floral top notes.
