Cranberry Lane is an exceptional natural lot from Endebess Estate, located in Trans-Nzoia County on the western slopes of Mount Elgon, Kenya. Natural coffees from Kenya are rare, and this lot stands out precisely because it offers a different expression of the Kenyan terroir: fruitier, deeper, and subtly complex, without sacrificing structure or clarity.

The coffee is a field blend of classic and modern varieties —SL28, SL34, Batian and Ruiru 11— grown in clay loam soils, with an average annual rainfall of 1400 mm and temperate temperatures close to 20.5 °C, ideal conditions for a slow and balanced development of the fruit.

The natural process uses carefully hand-selected cherries, sun-dried for 21 to 35 days, allowing for controlled fermentation that imparts depth and texture without excess. In the cup, Cranberry Lane is bright and structured, with juicy acidity and elegant complexity.

Lively notes of cranberries emerge, followed by blood orange and a milky oolong character that lends smoothness and balance. The finish rests on cacao nibs, adding a clean, slightly bitter sensation that rounds out the profile.

An expressive, unconventional and highly refined coffee, reflecting the creative and precise approach of DAK Coffee Roasters.

Dak was born from a true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a never-ending journey of discovery. We are located in Amsterdam.

We select our coffees based on their unique cupping profiles and, of course, that they are 100% traceable. We partner with importers who share our values ​​and carefully roast each of our coffees to deliver the best flavors they have to offer.

We roast on an IMF machine which provides a high degree of control and consistency in our roasts. The machine uses a convection system that allows the coffees to be properly developed in a shorter time. The result is clean, bright and sweet coffees.
