Best Coffee from Kenya

Best Coffee from Kenya

Kenyan coffee is bold, bright, and hard to confuse with anything else. High-grown lots from the slopes of Mount Kenya and the Aberdares often taste like blackcurrant, with wine-like acidity and a clean finish.

Why Kenya tastes like that

Elevation, volcanic soil, and a dual rainy season slow cherry development. A lot of the fruit and structure people chase comes from SL28 and SL34. Most specialty Kenya is washed, so the cup stays clear instead of muddy.

What it tastes like

Blackcurrant and dark berry. Bright acidity that is lively, not harsh. Fuller body than a lot of Ethiopian coffee. Sometimes a savory citrus or tomato note. Drink it black. Milk covers what you bought it for.

Our Kenya

Kenya is a washed single origin from the central highlands. Pour over or Aeropress shows the clarity. If you want a fruitier neighbor, try Ethiopia Natural. For a sweeter everyday cup next to it, Colombia.
