Kenya - AB - 60 kg

Kenya is a storied coffee producing country, with over 800,000 households dedicated to growing these much sought after beans. Producers deliver ripe cherry to their local wet mills, where it undergoes meticulous hand‑sorting, pulping, controlled fermentation, and thorough washing before being dried on traditional raised African beds for 12–20 days. Shade nets are deployed as needed to ensure slow, even drying and to protect the parchment from the midday sun. There are a wide array of possible quality designations coffee can be given in Kenya, from AA at the top all the way down to UGQ. This AB lot may not be the big beans of it's more popular cousin AA, but it more than delivers on cup profile. Each season, our team cups numerous offers to select a lot that delivers the bright structure, sweetness, and clarity our roasters expect from a Kenyan profile. This selection brings a fresh, citrus‑driven snap, layered sweetness, and the versatility that makes Kenya such a valuable component in a roastery lineup. In blends, it adds lift and definition; taken darker, it develops a rounded, buoyant body that supports espresso without overwhelming it. In the cup, expect lemon and chocolate aromatics, a molasses‑like sweetness, and flavors of black tea, dark chocolate, and savory depth—a balanced, expressive representation of Kenya’s high‑elevation terroir and its celebrated varieties.
