Coffee plantation

Kenya

Kenyan coffee doesn't whisper - it sings. Known for its bold acidity, complex fruit notes, and unmistakable vibrancy, this East African giant produces some of the most sought-after beans in specialty coffee.

The combination of high altitude, rich volcanic soil, and meticulous processing creates a cup that's consistently excellent. If you want coffee that makes you sit up and pay attention, Kenya delivers.

Here's a fun guide to Kenyan coffee:

Kenya AA - The Bold Statement

The largest screen size and often the finest quality. Bursting with blackcurrant, citrus, and a wine-like acidity that wakes up every taste bud. This isn't subtle coffee - this is coffee that announces itself.

SL28 - The Flavor Bomb

A variety developed in Kenya that's become legendary worldwide. Complex berry notes, bright tomato-like acidity, and a sweetness that lingers. Scientists created it for drought resistance; they accidentally created magic.

Peaberry - The Little Wonder

When only one bean develops in the cherry instead of two, you get a peaberry - rounder, denser, and packed with concentrated flavor. Kenyan peaberries are particularly prized for their intensity.

The Grading System

Kenya uses a unique grading system based on bean size: AA (largest), AB, PB (peaberry), and others. While size doesn't guarantee quality, the AA grade has become synonymous with excellence - it's what specialty coffee buyers chase.

But here's the insider secret: sometimes the smaller AB beans pack even more flavor. Don't sleep on anything Kenyan.

The Kenyan Coffee Story

Coffee arrived in Kenya in the late 1800s, and the industry has been obsessed with quality ever since. Research stations developed unique varieties, cooperatives organized farmers, and an auction system ensured transparency. The result? A coffee culture built on excellence.

The Auction System Kenya's coffee auctions are legendary - transparent, competitive, and quality-focused. Buyers from around the world bid for the best lots, driving farmers to ever-higher standards.
Tea vs. Coffee Here's a fun twist - Kenyans actually drink more tea than coffee! Most of the good stuff gets exported. But when Kenyans do drink coffee, they know exactly how good they have it.
Cooperative Culture Most Kenyan coffee comes from small farms organized into cooperatives. Shared washing stations, shared knowledge, shared success. It's community-powered quality.
