what is kenya coffee?

kenya coffee is arabica grown mostly in the central highlands, where high elevation and volcanic soil push the fruit character hard. it moves through a structured auction system, which means traceability is often excellent. the 103 coffees from 78 roasters in our index shows how widely it's sourced by roasters who take origin seriously.

what does kenya coffee taste like?

lemon and grapefruit hit first, usually sharp and clean, then stone fruit fills in underneath. citrus zest shows up a lot too, almost like the pith of a lime. milk and dark chocolate come through as well, mostly in the finish, giving it more range than you'd expect from something so bright.

why does kenya coffee matter?

kenya is a reference point. when specialty roasters want to show what washed processing can do to acidity and clarity, kenya is what they reach for. sl-28 in particular is one of those varieties that shows up on menus almost as a selling point on its own, because the cup quality is that consistent.

what should you look for in kenya coffee?

nyeri and kirinyaga are the counties worth prioritising. murang'a and embu also appear across our index and can be just as rewarding. sl-28 is the variety to seek out first. bourbon, typica, and caturra all show up too. washed processing is the norm and usually where the lemon and grapefruit clarity comes from.
