Your expert A question about this product?

When does your coffee reveal its full potential?

At Chronic., our coffees are roasted every day. We always try to send you coffees after a short resting period. But sometimes, victims of our own success, they may arrive very fresh.

After roasting, coffee evolves naturally. It gradually releases the accumulated carbon dioxide, which allows the cup to find its balance. Notes that are too bright or pronounced soften, giving way to more precision, sweetness and complexity. Letting coffee rest means giving it the time to fully express itself.

We recommend a minimum rest of 15 days after roasting. For our seasonal and exceptional coffees, the ideal tasting window is generally between 3 and 6 weeks after roasting.

The best way to brew it

Some coffees reveal their aromas best with a particular brewing method — that’s the recommendation we’re sharing here. Of course, you’re free to experiment with other methods, and we love receiving your feedback.

Meet the Producer

GIKANDAFARMERS COOPERATIVE

The Ndaro-ini washing station was established in 1984 by a group of passionate farmers determined to showcase their coffee independently. Today, it brings together around 700 smallholder members, each cultivating less than one hectare at the foothills of Mount Kenya.

Cherries are handpicked, carefully sorted, fermented and washed in clean spring water, then slowly dried on raised African beds.

This meticulous, time-honoured process produces coffees of exceptional purity — precise, vibrant, and elegantly structured in the cup.

A terroir, an identity

KENYA, NYERI

The Ndaro-ini Coffee Factory lies in the Nyeri region, at the heart of Kenya’s central highlands. This terroir is renowned for producing some of the country’s most expressive coffees, thanks to its rich volcanic soils and altitudes ranging from 1,700 to 1,900 meters.

Here, the climate is mild, the nights are cool, and rainfall is consistent — perfect conditions for slow cherry maturation, resulting in bright acidity and precise fruity aromas.

Kenya AA Ndaro-ini embodies this terroir beautifully: an elegant, vibrant and deep coffee that captures the true essence of the Kenyan style.
