Kenya - AB - 25 lb Box

This Kenya AB represents the collective work of more than 40,000 smallholder families farming across the Central and Eastern Highlands—one of East Africa’s most storied coffee landscapes. 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. Each season, our team cups extensively through numerous offers to select a lot that delivers the bright structure, sweetness, and clarity our roasters expect from a classic 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.
