Pearless Estate — Kenya (Nyeri)
A natural-processed Kenya from the Nyeri highlands that bursts with strawberry jam, apricot and vanilla-maple sweetness over a silky texture. Whole-cherry drying on raised beds concentrates sugars and lifts fruit aromatics for a distinctly modern Kenyan cup. If you love juicy filter coffee with vivid acidity and long sweetness, Pearless is your fruit-bomb ticket.

Estate & Varieties
Classic SL28/SL34 cultivars (with a supporting cast of Ruiru 11) thrive in cool nights and red loam soils. Naturals from Kenya are still uncommon compared to washed lots, making this an attention-grabbing single origin for home brewers and cafés alike. Expect clarity, high-tone fruit and a creamy glide that makes the cup feel luxurious.

Flavor Arc
Hot: strawberry compote, peach/apricot and a hint of citrus oil. Mid-cup: vanilla bean and pastry-cream softness. Cool: a gentle maple glow and floral flutter. The sweetness reads natural and integrated rather than syrupy, so the cup stays refreshing to the last sip.

Brewing Recommendations
Kalita Wave: 16 g → 250 g at 94 °C, medium. Bloom 30 s (35 g), then two equal pours. 2:40–3:00 total for sparkling fruit and satin texture.
V60: 17 g → 270 g at 94 °C in three stages (50%/30%/20%). Keeps structure while layering sweetness.
Espresso: 19 g in → 40 g out in 27–30 s at 93–94 °C. Expect berries-and-cream vibes. If shots skew winey, coarsen slightly and aim 42 g out.

When to Choose Pearless
Pour-over bars needing a “wow” cup, home brewers building a weekend flight, and cafés curating a single origin espresso that stands out from chocolate-heavy Brazils. It’s a conversation starter without being polarizing.

Pro Tip
Naturals are fines-sensitive: maintain a gentle, centered pour and consider a touch coarser grind to keep the bed from stalling while preserving fruit perfume.
