Kenya Nyeri Thagrini Peaberry Farm Introduction

Located in East Africa, Kenya is one of the major coffee-producing countries, with approximately six million people engaged in the coffee industry nationwide. These are mostly small-scale farmers and cooperatives. Kenya's coffee trees are primarily grown at altitudes between 1,400-2,000 meters, with growing regions including Ruiri, Thika, Kirinyaga, Mt. Kenya West, Nyeri, Kiambu, and Muranga, mainly on the foothills of Mt. Kenya and Aberdare. Many coffee regions in Kenya strive to preserve native forest ecosystems, protect natural gene banks, support the propagation of wild coffee varieties, and nurture diverse coffee trees.

In the early 20th century, French and British missionaries and researchers selected and bred Bourbon-line varieties in Kenya. Over the past century, these have adapted to Kenya's high-phosphorus soil, nurturing the special acidic aroma of Kenyan coffee beans, which differs from Bourbon beans in Central and South America. This native Kenyan variety was created in 1930 by Scott Laboratories, abbreviated as SL. Agronomists wanted to find a Bourbon variety that was resistant to diseases and pests with high yield, and through experiments, they obtained SL28. SL28 is a genetic variant with mixed lineage from French missionaries, Mocha, and Yemen Typica. The original goal of breeding SL28 was to mass-produce coffee beans that combined high quality with disease and pest resistance. Although SL28's yield later turned out to be not as high as expected, its copper-colored leaves and broad bean shape offer wonderful sweetness, balance, and complex, variable flavors, along with significant citrus and dark plum characteristics. This important variety introduces us to the unique Kenyan style: intense, rich fruit acidity, full body, and beautiful balance. Kenya AA is one such example.

SL28 is a delicious variety suitable for cultivation in medium to high-altitude areas with less severe leaf rust disease. It can yield 1.8 tons of raw beans per hectare. Only when tasting its charming plum-like acidity can one appreciate Kenya's national treasure.

Region Introduction

This green bean comes from the Chakuni Processing Station in Nyeri, produced by surrounding family farms. On 0.5 acres (approximately 2,023 square meters) of land, about 250 coffee trees are planted. Nyeri has historically been a classic coffee-producing region in Kenya, backed by Mount Kenya and possessing an excellent environment suitable for coffee cultivation. About 65% of Kenyan coffee comes from small-scale farmers, with about 35% from large farms.

Flavor Profile

Classic Kenyan flavor - rich, with high body, caramel, blackcurrant, apple, clean, and long aftertaste. Abundant tropical fruit and fresh citrus aroma, with a sweet taste like having mango, plum, and other preserves in your mouth. At medium to low temperatures, it releases refreshing lime notes, like drinking iced fruit tea! Very distinctive cherry tomato flavor!! Full of the passionate and bold flavor characteristic of African beans!
