Jammy Dodger is a juicy party. SL.OW are very selective with their Kenyans — this one from Ngomano F.C.S made the cut with no hesitation. With notes of cherry, Ribena, and apricot, this is a great coffee and one they are really proud to offer.
A washed Kenyan tasting of raspberry jam, biscuit, and sweet citrus — a coffee that every single filter drinker will reach for again and again. It simply doesn't miss.
THE PRODUCER
Ngomano Farmers Co-operative Society (F.C.S) is based in Machakos County, in Kenya's eastern region — a less immediately celebrated growing area than the famous central counties, but producing coffees of exceptional character. Ngomano F.C.S aggregates cherries from smallholder members, processing them through a meticulous double-washed method that is the hallmark of quality Kenyan coffee.
This lot was sourced through Opal Coffee, SL.OW's trusted New Zealand import partner. The SL28 and Ruiru varieties — the backbone of Kenya's best lots — deliver their characteristic blackcurrant depth and wine-like acidity with clarity and precision from this station.
THE PROCESS
The Washed process at Ngomano F.C.S involves:
- 🍒 Cherry Selection — Only fully ripe red cherries hand-picked and delivered to the washing station
- 💧 Pulping — Cherries pulped to remove the outer skin
- 🧪 Wet Fermentation — Coffee fermented in water tanks, typically 12–36 hours, to loosen mucilage
- 💧 Washing — Beans washed clean through grading channels
- ☀️ Raised-Bed Drying — Dried slowly on raised African beds in open air
- ✅ Grading & Export — Final grading and quality control before export
Kenya's washed process — with its extended fermentation and thorough washing — produces the extraordinary clarity and fruit precision that distinguishes the country's best coffees from any other origin in the world.
THE CUP
A vivid, juicy cup with a clean, precise mouthfeel. Cherry and Ribena-like blackcurrant are immediately apparent, with a sweet apricot finish that lingers well. SL.OW describe it as raspberry jam, biscuit, and sweet citrus — and it delivers every single note. Classic Kenyan brightness without astringency. A filter coffee for every occasion.
