At 1,750 MASL, Solomon grows SL-34 and Ruiri 11. This AB separation was harvested between October and December 2025, marking our first Kenyan arrival of the new season. The cup is ripe and vibrant, with a syrupy sweetness and a fresh  acidity. We’re finding notes of clementine, red berries, and currants, with the structured sweetness we love from great Kenyan coffees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile most of the coffees we purchase from Kenya come through cooperative washing stations, this is one of the first single-estate lots we’ve worked with from the country. Solomon is doing deeply thoughtful work at Ibonia, focusing on small lot separations by harvest date and maintaining older SL plant stock alongside Ruiri 11. His attention to detail and long-term approach to quality are already showing in the cup, and we’re excited to share this first release from the estate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCherries are picked at peak ripeness and floated to remove defects. The ripe cherries are then depulped, density sorted, and left to ferment underwater for 16-18 hours. Following fermentation the seeds are thoroughly rinsed, soaked and rinsed again to remove all mucilage. They are then moved to drying beds where they dry for 13-15 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte pt2 mb2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-template--15299336601702__product-details\" class=\"shopify-section\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"section__product-details product-bottom grid__wrapper pt10 pb10 cg9 sm-cg0 product__section--details\" data-product-details=\"\" data-section-id=\"template--15299336601702__product-details\" data-section-type=\"product-details\" data-section-loaded=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"span-8 push-2 auto v-center sm-span-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-template__details-table mb0\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"label\"\u003eNotes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"item custom_metafield\"\u003eClementine, Red Berries, Currants\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"label\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"item custom_metafield\"\u003eKenya\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"label\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"item custom_metafield\"\u003eKiambu\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"label\"\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"item custom_metafield\"\u003eSL-34 \u0026amp; Ruiru 11\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"label\"\u003eProcess:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"item custom_metafield\"\u003eWashed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"label\"\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"item custom_metafield\"\u003e1750 MASL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"label\"\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"item custom_metafield\"\u003eOctober - December 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ILSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46586533347527,"sku":"46586533347527","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/7414\/8551\/files\/ibona_jpg.webp?v=1779415980","url":"https:\/\/kickavecoffee.com\/products\/ilse-kenya-ibonia-estate-ab-washed-sl-34-ruiru-11-250g","provider":"Kick Ave Coffee Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
