From Ethiopia, we are travelling to another famous African coffee origin: Kenya. The best coffees from Kenya are known for their characterful, fruity profiles, and beans are graded by size. Almost all coffee in Kenya is processed in washed style, offering flavour that is truly unique.Â
On the slopes of Mt. Kenya, the Kii washing station overlooks the traditional elephant migration route through the lush landscape below. The locals in this area call Mt. Kenya ‘Kirinyaga’, named for the snow capped peak of the mountain. The terrior of Kirinyaga offers everything we love about Kenyan coffee. Expect bright notes of cranberry, blackcurrant, and apricot, with a syrupy sweetness.
