Why Kenyan Coffee is So Special
Kenya has been producing some of the most sought-after and award-winning coffees in the world for decades. Thanks to the combination of high altitudes (1,600-2,100 meters), volcanic soils, careful processing and unique varieties such asSL28,SL34andBatian, Kenyan coffee develops a flavor profile that is rarely matched.
Most coffee is washed processed in Kenya, which gives it a bright, distinct and complex character. Think juicy notes of blackcurrant, grapefruit, tomato, rhubarb, and a long, winey finish.
Regions & Flavor Profiles
- Nyeri: Complex, floral, lots of citrus and red berry
- Kirinyaga: Full and juicy, often with notes of stone fruit and blackcurrant
- Embu & Murang'a: Slightly fuller and spicier, with chocolate and jammy sweetness
Kenyan coffee is often appreciated by advanced coffee drinkers, but is also perfect for those looking for a taste adventure with a clear acidity and elegance.
