One of my favorite ways to serve kati kati is iced and served in an orange cup. This year, I wanted to change things up a bit. Not only change the presentation of the coffee, and the vessel it is served in, but to change the texture. A whole new experience with Kati Kati!
If you don’t have Kati Kati, Kenya, Willow and Ethiopia are all great coffees to transform in this way. Try switching up the citrus, a grapefruit for Kenya or a blood orange with Ethiopia.
