Years of Experience

Aromatic, flavorful, and undeniably special.

Kenyan coffee is wet-processed (washed) and once roasted a good Kenya coffee is bright and intense with sweet flavors full of wine-like acidity, complex notes of fruit, and powerful character. This creates well-balanced layers of bright acidity and citrus notes along with spice or chocolate flavors.
