TASTING NOTES:
orange zest
mulled wine

Kenyan coffee is the undisputed favourite among coffee connoisseurs and is unlike any other coffee in the world. Kenya happens to have near perfect conditions for growing coffee. Arabica beans thrive at high elevations and in deep, well-drained loamy soil. Kenyan farmers use a unique processing method that’s a variation of wet-process, but involves fermenting the coffee twice and rinsing with clean river water in-between. This extra fermentation and rinse enhance the clarity and brightness of flavours unique to Kenyan coffees.

The coffee industry in Kenya is in a class by itself and one of the world’s most advanced. By pairing fortuitous natural resources with a sophisticated growth, production and distribution system, Kenya has taken full advantage of its coffee potential.

To highlight the fruity acidity of the beans along with the creamy mouthfeel, we have opted for a light roast. We suggest that our Kenyan beans be allowed to rest for at least two days following the roasting process to truly optimize their inherent sweetness. Interested in truly savouring the subtle nuances of our Kenya single origin? We recommend immersion brewing; a French Press or an Aeropress are both excellent tools for the job.

As a light roast, our Kenya single origin sits at 25 on the Roast Vision Scale and 93 on the Agtron Gourmet Colour Scale laid out by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).

  • Orange zest and mulled wine
  • Species: 100% Arabica

Trop acide

Bonjour Fabricio,

Merci pour vos commentaires. Il s'agit sans aucun doute d'un café acide de type 'front end'. Nous le mentionnons dans les notes de goût. Nous avons également précisé qu'il s'agit d'une torréfaction incroyablement légère, ce qui donne cette acidité fruitée. Nous sommes désolés qu'il ne soit pas à votre goût. Nous vous suggérons de vous en tenir à l'avenir à nos torréfactions moyennes ou plus foncées.

Nous vous remercions encore une fois !

À essayer en café sur glace

Excellent goût. Je le préfère en café sur glace avec son profil plus juteux et acide. À essayer!

Excellent

We bought four different beans in our last order and the Kenya beans were the best. They were the most complex. The roast level was listed as 1/5 but we found them to be more in line with medium roasts.

Pretty Standard

Pretty standard Kenyan coffee. If you've had Kenyan before, you'll know what to expect. No flaws or anything, but also not anything unique or exciting. Just a solid tasty bean.
