This roast offers a refreshing experience with notes of cocoa and fruit, crafted for those who appreciate Kenya’s tranquil beauty.

Each grind size influences how quickly water extracts flavors from the coffee, impacting the strength, richness, and balance of the final cup. From coarse grounds suited for long steeping methods to ultra-fine grinds perfect for intense brews, matching the grind size to the brewing method can make a significant difference in taste and texture. Below is a guide to the different grind sizes and the brewing methods they’re best suited for, helping you unlock the full potential of your coffee beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eExtra Coarse Grind\u003c\/strong\u003e is the largest grind size, with a texture similar to peppercorns. This grind is best suited for methods that involve long steeping times, such as cold brew coffee and cowboy coffee. With extra coarse grounds, the coffee can steep in water for extended periods without over-extracting, allowing a smooth, mild flavor to develop over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCoarse Grind \u003c\/strong\u003eis chunky and resembles the texture of sea salt. This grind is ideal for French Press and Percolator brewing methods, where coffee grounds remain immersed in water for several minutes. Coarse grounds work well for these methods, allowing for a full-bodied, rich flavor without becoming overly bitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMedium-Coarse Grind \u003c\/strong\u003eis slightly smoother than coarse but still retains a chunky texture. It’s ideal for slower pour-over methods such as the Chemex and Clever Dripper. These methods require a grind that allows water to flow at a controlled pace, ensuring that the coffee extracts properly and delivers balanced flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMedium Grind\u003c\/strong\u003e has a consistency similar to sand and is commonly used for drip coffee makers, siphon brewers, and Aeropress when used with longer brewing times. Medium grinds provide a good balance between water flow and extraction, making them versatile and suitable for various brewing styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMedium-Fine Grind\u003c\/strong\u003e is a bit finer than medium, resembling coarse table salt. It’s well-suited for Hario V60 and Aeropress when used with shorter brew times, as it allows water to flow through the coffee quickly while extracting a balanced, flavorful cup. This grind size is popular for pour-over methods with moderate brewing times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFine Grind \u003c\/strong\u003eis smooth, with a texture similar to powdered sugar. This grind is essential for espresso and Moka pots. With fine grounds, espresso machines can apply the right amount of pressure to produce a concentrated, rich shot with an intense flavor and crema. Fine grind size is critical for achieving the distinctive characteristics of espresso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eExtra Fine \u003c\/strong\u003eor \u003cstrong\u003eTurkish Grind \u003c\/strong\u003eis almost powder-like in texture. This grind is used exclusively for Turkish coffee, where the coffee grounds are not filtered but instead settle at the bottom of the cup. The extra fine grind allows the coffee to infuse intensely with the water, creating a strong, rich flavor typical of Turkish coffee, while the grounds settle as the coffee is enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the correct grind size for each brewing method is key to achieving the best flavor extraction, as each method benefits from a specific grind size that balances the water flow and brewing time perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/info_4]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[info_5]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreserving the freshness, aroma, and flavor of coffee requires careful attention to storage. Below are the best practices and key principles to keep your coffee tasting its best:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Storage Principles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse an Airtight Container  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Oxygen exposure is one of the main factors that cause coffee to go stale. Use a high-quality, airtight container to prevent oxidation. Containers with vacuum seals or one-way valves that allow CO₂ to escape are ideal as they minimize exposure to air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore Away from Light  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Exposure to light, particularly sunlight, can degrade coffee’s quality. For optimal preservation, store coffee in a dark place, like a cupboard or pantry, or use an opaque container that prevents light from reaching the beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep in a cool, dry place \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Avoid moisture, heat, and temperature fluctuations when storing coffee. Coffee absorbs moisture easily, affecting its flavor. To keep beans fresh, store them in a consistently cool and dry area, away from appliances that emit heat or humidity, like the stove or dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoom Temperature is Best  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Contrary to popular belief, refrigerating coffee can expose it to moisture and odor absorption. Instead, store coffee at room temperature, as freezing or refrigerating can result in condensation when the coffee is taken out, affecting its taste and aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy Whole Beans and Grind Only as Needed  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Whole beans retain their freshness and flavor longer than ground coffee. Grinding just before brewing exposes the beans to air only briefly, preserving their essential oils and aromatic compounds. Buy only what you’ll use within 2-4 weeks for maximum freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional Tips for Optimal Storage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Avoid Clear or Glass Containers  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Transparent containers allow light exposure, which can degrade coffee quality. Choose opaque ceramic or stainless steel containers that block light completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Consider One-Way Valve Containers  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Coffee beans release CO₂ after roasting. One-way valve containers allow CO₂ to escape without letting oxygen in, which can help keep your coffee fresh longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Mind the Storage Location  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Avoid storing coffee near heat or moisture sources like the stove, dishwasher, or windowsill. A pantry or a dedicated coffee cabinet works best for consistent conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Purchase Freshly Roasted Coffee in Small Batches  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  To maintain optimal freshness, buy coffee in quantities you can consume within 2-4 weeks. This helps ensure you’re always enjoying coffee at its peak flavor without worrying about it going stale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended Storage Solutions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Airscape Coffee Canister: Features a vacuum-sealing lid that removes excess air and prevents oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Opaque Ceramic Jars: Often come with rubber gaskets for airtight seals and block light effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Stainless Steel Canisters with One-Way Valves: These allow CO₂ to escape while preventing air and light exposure, making them ideal for coffee storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy following these principles, you can maximize the freshness and flavor of your coffee. Proper storage is particularly important for premium coffee, like Café Nairobi’s mountain-grown, ethically sourced beans, ensuring that each cup delivers the intended rich and aromatic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/info_5]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[info_3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour browser does not support the audio element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/info_3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Café Nairobi","offers":[{"title":"EXTRA COARSE GROUND \/ one-12oz","offer_id":44294554583236,"sku":"","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"EXTRA COARSE GROUND \/ two-12oz","offer_id":44294554616004,"sku":"","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"EXTRA COARSE GROUND \/ three-12oz","offer_id":44294530990276,"sku":"","price":53.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"EXTRA COARSE GROUND \/ one-5lb","offer_id":44294554681540,"sku":"","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"EXTRA COARSE GROUND \/ one-10lb","offer_id":44294554714308,"sku":"","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ROASTED WHOLE BEAN \/ one-12oz","offer_id":44298234101956,"sku":"","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ROASTED WHOLE BEAN \/ two-12oz","offer_id":44298234134724,"sku":"","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ROASTED WHOLE BEAN \/ three-12oz","offer_id":44298234069188,"sku":"","price":53.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ROASTED WHOLE BEAN \/ one-5lb","offer_id":44298234200260,"sku":"","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ROASTED WHOLE BEAN \/ one-10lb","offer_id":44298234233028,"sku":"","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/3312\/3524\/files\/COLD_BREW_ROAST_EXTRA_COARSE_GROUND_COFFEE_fc35a9ec-0e34-4365-9497-7224a834ebc1.png?v=1735238108"},{"product_id":"custom-roast-kenyan-coffee","title":"Café Nairobi Custom Roast Kenyan Coffee","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCafé Nairobi Custom Roast gives you complete control over your coffee, allowing you to choose the roast level, flavor profile, and grind that best match your taste or brewing method.

Each grind size influences how quickly water extracts flavors from the coffee, impacting the strength, richness, and balance of the final cup. From coarse grounds suited for long steeping methods to ultra-fine grinds perfect for intense brews, matching the grind size to the brewing method can make a significant difference in taste and texture. Below is a guide to the different grind sizes and the brewing methods they’re best suited for, helping you unlock the full potential of your coffee beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eExtra Coarse Grind\u003c\/strong\u003e is the largest grind size, with a texture similar to peppercorns. This grind is best suited for methods that involve long steeping times, such as cold brew coffee and cowboy coffee. With extra coarse grounds, the coffee can steep in water for extended periods without over-extracting, allowing a smooth, mild flavor to develop over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCoarse Grind\u003c\/strong\u003e is chunky and resembles the texture of sea salt. This grind is ideal for French Press and Percolator brewing methods, where coffee grounds remain immersed in water for several minutes. Coarse grounds work well for these methods, allowing for a full-bodied, rich flavor without becoming overly bitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMedium-Coarse Grind\u003c\/strong\u003e is slightly smoother than coarse but still retains a chunky texture. It’s ideal for slower pour-over methods such as the Chemex and Clever Dripper. These methods require a grind that allows water to flow at a controlled pace, ensuring that the coffee extracts properly and delivers balanced flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMedium Grind\u003c\/strong\u003e has a consistency similar to sand and is commonly used for drip coffee makers, siphon brewers, and Aeropress when used with longer brewing times. Medium grinds provide a good balance between water flow and extraction, making them versatile and suitable for various brewing styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMedium-Fine Grind \u003c\/strong\u003eis a bit finer than medium, resembling coarse table salt. It’s well-suited for Hario V60 and Aeropress when used with shorter brew times, as it allows water to flow through the coffee quickly while extracting a balanced, flavorful cup. This grind size is popular for pour-over methods with moderate brewing times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFine Grind \u003c\/strong\u003eis smooth, with a texture similar to powdered sugar. This grind is essential for espresso and Moka pots. With fine grounds, espresso machines can apply the right amount of pressure to produce a concentrated, rich shot with an intense flavor and crema. Fine grind size is critical for achieving the distinctive characteristics of espresso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eExtra Fine \u003c\/strong\u003eor \u003cstrong\u003eTurkish Grind \u003c\/strong\u003eis almost powder-like in texture. This grind is used exclusively for Turkish coffee, where the coffee grounds are not filtered but instead settle at the bottom of the cup. The extra fine grind allows the coffee to infuse intensely with the water, creating a strong, rich flavor typical of Turkish coffee, while the grounds settle as the coffee is enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the correct grind size for each brewing method is key to achieving the best flavor extraction, as each method benefits from a specific grind size that balances the water flow and brewing time perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/info_4]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[info_5]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreserving the freshness, aroma, and flavor of coffee requires careful attention to storage.

Use a high-quality, airtight container to prevent oxidation. Containers with vacuum seals or one-way valves that allow CO₂ to escape are ideal as they minimize exposure to air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore Away from Light  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Exposure to light, particularly sunlight, can degrade coffee’s quality. For optimal preservation, store coffee in a dark place, like a cupboard or pantry, or use an opaque container that prevents light from reaching the beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep in a cool, dry place \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Avoid moisture, heat, and temperature fluctuations when storing coffee. Coffee absorbs moisture easily, affecting its flavor. To keep beans fresh, store them in a consistently cool and dry area, away from appliances that emit heat or humidity, like the stove or dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoom Temperature is Best  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Contrary to popular belief, refrigerating coffee can expose it to moisture and odor absorption. Instead, store coffee at room temperature, as freezing or refrigerating can result in condensation when the coffee is taken out, affecting its taste and aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy Whole Beans and Grind Only as Needed  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Whole beans retain their freshness and flavor longer than ground coffee. Grinding just before brewing exposes the beans to air only briefly, preserving their essential oils and aromatic compounds. Buy only what you’ll use within 2-4 weeks for maximum freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional Tips for Optimal Storage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Avoid Clear or Glass Containers  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Transparent containers allow light exposure, which can degrade coffee quality.

Each grind size influences how quickly water extracts flavors from the coffee, impacting the strength, richness, and balance of the final cup. From coarse grounds suited for long steeping methods to ultra-fine grinds perfect for intense brews, matching the grind size to the brewing method can make a significant difference in taste and texture.

Use a high-quality, airtight container to prevent oxidation. Containers with vacuum seals or one-way valves that allow CO₂ to escape are ideal as they minimize exposure to air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore Away from Light  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Exposure to light, particularly sunlight, can degrade coffee’s quality. For optimal preservation, store coffee in a dark place, like a cupboard or pantry, or use an opaque container that prevents light from reaching the beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep in a cool, dry place \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Avoid moisture, heat, and temperature fluctuations when storing coffee. Coffee absorbs moisture easily, affecting its flavor. To keep beans fresh, store them in a consistently cool and dry area, away from appliances that emit heat or humidity, like the stove or dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoom Temperature is Best  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Contrary to popular belief, refrigerating coffee can expose it to moisture and odor absorption. Instead, store coffee at room temperature, as freezing or refrigerating can result in condensation when the coffee is taken out, affecting its taste and aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy Whole Beans and Grind Only as Needed  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Whole beans retain their freshness and flavor longer than ground coffee. Grinding just before brewing exposes the beans to air only briefly, preserving their essential oils and aromatic compounds. Buy only what you’ll use within 2-4 weeks for maximum freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional Tips for Optimal Storage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Avoid Clear or Glass Containers  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Transparent containers allow light exposure, which can degrade coffee quality. Choose opaque ceramic or stainless steel containers that block light completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Consider One-Way Valve Containers  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Coffee beans release CO₂ after roasting. One-way valve containers allow CO₂ to escape without letting oxygen in, which can help keep your coffee fresh longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Mind the Storage Location  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Avoid storing coffee near heat or moisture sources like the stove, dishwasher, or windowsill. A pantry or a dedicated coffee cabinet works best for consistent conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Purchase Freshly Roasted Coffee in Small Batches  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  To maintain optimal freshness, buy coffee in quantities you can consume within 2-4 weeks. This helps ensure you’re always enjoying coffee at its peak flavor without worrying about it going stale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended Storage Solutions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Airscape Coffee Canister: Features a vacuum-sealing lid that removes excess air and prevents oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Opaque Ceramic Jars: Often come with rubber gaskets for airtight seals and block light effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Stainless Steel Canisters with One-Way Valves: These allow CO₂ to escape while preventing air and light exposure, making them ideal for coffee storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy following these principles, you can maximize the freshness and flavor of your coffee.

This grind is used exclusively for Turkish coffee, where the coffee grounds are not filtered but instead settle at the bottom of the cup.

Below are the best practices and key principles to keep your coffee tasting its best:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Storage Principles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse an Airtight Container  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Oxygen exposure is one of the main factors that cause coffee to go stale. Use a high-quality, airtight container to prevent oxidation. Containers with vacuum seals or one-way valves that allow CO₂ to escape are ideal as they minimize exposure to air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore Away from Light  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Exposure to light, particularly sunlight, can degrade coffee’s quality. For optimal preservation, store coffee in a dark place, like a cupboard or pantry, or use an opaque container that prevents light from reaching the beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep in a cool, dry place \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Avoid moisture, heat, and temperature fluctuations when storing coffee. Coffee absorbs moisture easily, affecting its flavor. To keep beans fresh, store them in a consistently cool and dry area, away from appliances that emit heat or humidity, like the stove or dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoom Temperature is Best  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Contrary to popular belief, refrigerating coffee can expose it to moisture and odor absorption. Instead, store coffee at room temperature, as freezing or refrigerating can result in condensation when the coffee is taken out, affecting its taste and aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy Whole Beans and Grind Only as Needed  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   Whole beans retain their freshness and flavor longer than ground coffee. Grinding just before brewing exposes the beans to air only briefly, preserving their essential oils and aromatic compounds. Buy only what you’ll use within 2-4 weeks for maximum freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional Tips for Optimal Storage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Avoid Clear or Glass Containers  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Transparent containers allow light exposure, which can degrade coffee quality. Choose opaque ceramic or stainless steel containers that block light completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Consider One-Way Valve Containers  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Coffee beans release CO₂ after roasting. One-way valve containers allow CO₂ to escape without letting oxygen in, which can help keep your coffee fresh longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Mind the Storage Location  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Avoid storing coffee near heat or moisture sources like the stove, dishwasher, or windowsill. A pantry or a dedicated coffee cabinet works best for consistent conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Purchase Freshly Roasted Coffee in Small Batches  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  To maintain optimal freshness, buy coffee in quantities you can consume within 2-4 weeks. This helps ensure you’re always enjoying coffee at its peak flavor without worrying about it going stale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended Storage Solutions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Airscape Coffee Canister: Features a vacuum-sealing lid that removes excess air and prevents oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Opaque Ceramic Jars: Often come with rubber gaskets for airtight seals and block light effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Stainless Steel Canisters with One-Way Valves: These allow CO₂ to escape while preventing air and light exposure, making them ideal for coffee storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy following these principles, you can maximize the freshness and flavor of your coffee. Proper storage is particularly important for premium coffee, like Café Nairobi’s mountain-grown, ethically sourced beans, ensuring that each cup delivers the intended rich and aromatic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/info_5]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[info_3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour browser does not support the audio element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/info_3]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Café Nairobi","offers":[{"title":"GROUND COFFEE \/ one-12oz","offer_id":44459285577924,"sku":null,"price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND COFFEE \/ two-12oz","offer_id":44459285610692,"sku":null,"price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND COFFEE \/ three-12oz","offer_id":44459286528196,"sku":null,"price":53.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND COFFEE \/ one-5lb","offer_id":44298321428676,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND COFFEE \/ one-10lb","offer_id":44298321658052,"sku":null,"price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ROASTED WHOLE BEAN \/ one-12oz","offer_id":44459285643460,"sku":null,"price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ROASTED WHOLE BEAN \/ two-12oz","offer_id":44459285676228,"sku":null,"price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ROASTED WHOLE BEAN \/ three-12oz","offer_id":44459286560964,"sku":null,"price":53.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ROASTED WHOLE BEAN \/ one-5lb","offer_id":44298322018500,"sku":"","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ROASTED WHOLE BEAN \/ one-10lb","offer_id":44298322051268,"sku":"","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/3312\/3524\/files\/Cafe_Nairobi_Light_Roast_Ground_Coffee_12oz_bag_front_side.png?v=1787944751"},{"product_id":"cafe-nairobi-medium-roast-kenyan-coffee","title":"Café Nairobi Medium Roast Kenyan Coffee","description":"\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAuthentic Single-Origin Kenyan Arabica\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCafé Nairobi Medium Roast is grown, harvested, and sourced from Kenya's coffee highlands.
