This Samburu Estate coffee from various high-altitude plateaus in Kenya has been washed and patio dried. It has the varietals of SL-28, SL-34 and Bourbon and has been grown at an altitude of 1066m - 1828m, making it a distinguished coffee with citrus brightness. Notes of vanilla and bergamot merge with complex wine flavours. Medium roast, clean, with a chocolatey, sugar cane aftertaste.
Vanilla, bergamot and chocolate sugar cane.
Kenya is well known for its highly organised network of coffee cooperatives. This system produces remarkable consistency in growing methods, milling, and auctioning across a web of about 150,000 growers, the majority of which are small-scale farmers. The topography of high-altitude plateaus in major Kenyan coffee regions combined with acidic soil provides excellent growing conditions for Arabica.
All Kenyan coffee is graded primarily by screen size (a measure of the size of the bean, larger being higher grade) immediately after milling; it then proceeds to the weekly auction at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange. The AA Grade is the top grade based on screening.
