{"product_id":"kenya","title":"Kenya","description":"\u003cp\u003eKenyan coffee is among the most celebrated in the specialty coffee world — and our Kenya is a perfect example of why. Bold, bright, and complex in a way that surprises people who expect coffee to taste like coffee. If you've never experienced a well-sourced Kenyan coffee, this is the cup that will change your understanding of what coffee can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Carry This\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Kenya comes from the highlands of Othaya in Nyeri County — one of the most prestigious coffee-growing areas in Kenya. Nyeri sits on the slopes of Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range at elevations between 1,500 and 1,800 meters. Rich volcanic soil, cool temperatures, and a dual rainy season create ideal conditions for slow cherry development and exceptional flavor complexity. Kenya's competitive auction system incentivizes quality at the farm level — and our Kenya is sourced with full traceability back to the washing station.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFlavor Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrange and lemon citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e — bright, vibrant, and immediately energizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDelicate floral notes\u003c\/strong\u003e — subtle complexity that adds elegance to the cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffervescent acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e — lively and complex, not sharp or harsh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium-light body\u003c\/strong\u003e — crisp and clean with excellent clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong, clean finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — citrus and floral notes linger beautifully\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Process\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully washed — the fruit is removed before drying, producing a clean, precise cup that highlights the bean's natural acidity and fruit character.

The quality is earned, not marketed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Kenya good for people who don't like acidic coffee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKenya is a bright, acidic coffee — it's not the right choice for low-acid preferences. For low-acid alternatives, we recommend our Sumatra or Brazil Santos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I add milk?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe recommend drinking it black. Milk masks the citrus and floral notes that make this coffee special. If you prefer milk in your coffee, our House Blend or Colombia are better fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Kenya compare to Ethiopia?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth are East African coffees with bright, complex character, but distinct. Ethiopia Natural has intense fruit sweetness (blueberry, jasmine) from natural processing. Kenya is washed — cleaner, more citrus-forward, with effervescent acidity. Both are exceptional — different expressions of East African coffee at its finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/single-origin\"\u003eExplore our full single origin lineup\u003c\/a\u003e — or \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/coffee\"\u003ebrowse all coffees\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milestone Brewed Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Coarse \/ 12oz","offer_id":44080876093476,"sku":"KENYA  -CO-ME-12OZ","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coarse \/ 1 LB","offer_id":44080876126244,"sku":"KENYA  -CO-ME-1 LB","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coarse \/ 2 LB","offer_id":44080876159012,"sku":"KENYA  -CO-ME-2 LB","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coarse \/ 5 LB","offer_id":44080876191780,"sku":"KENYA  -CO-ME-5 LB","price":121.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso \/ 12oz","offer_id":44080876224548,"sku":"KENYA  -ES-ME-12OZ","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso \/ 1 LB","offer_id":44080876257316,"sku":"KENYA  -ES-ME-1 LB","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso \/ 2 LB","offer_id":44080876290084,"sku":"KENYA  -ES-ME-2 LB","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso \/ 5 LB","offer_id":44080876322852,"sku":"KENYA  -ES-ME-5 LB","price":121.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard \/ 12oz","offer_id":44080876355620,"sku":"KENYA  -ST-ME-12OZ","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard \/ 1 LB","offer_id":44080876388388,"sku":"KENYA  -ST-ME-1 LB","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard \/ 2 LB","offer_id":44080876421156,"sku":"KENYA  -ST-ME-2 LB","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard \/ 5 LB","offer_id":44080876453924,"sku":"KENYA  -ST-ME-5 LB","price":121.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 12oz","offer_id":44080876486692,"sku":"KENYA  -WH-ME-12OZ","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 1 LB","offer_id":44080876519460,"sku":"KENYA  -WH-ME-1 LB","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 2 LB","offer_id":44080876552228,"sku":"KENYA  -WH-ME-2 LB","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 5 LB","offer_id":44080876584996,"sku":"KENYA  -WH-ME-5 LB","price":121.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/4946\/0772\/files\/kenya-medium-light-roast.png?v=1779136972","url":"https:\/\/milestonebrewedcoffee.com\/products\/kenya","provider":"Milestone Brewed Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
