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, mostly in the form of smallholders and cooperatives. Kenya's coffee trees are mostly grown at altitudes of 1,400-2,000 meters, with growing regions including Ruiri, Thika, Kirinyaga, Mt. Kenya West, Nyeri, Kiambu, and Muranga, primarily 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 reproduction of wild coffee varieties, and nurture diverse coffee trees.

In the early 20th century, French and British missionaries and researchers selected and bred Bourbon lineage varieties in Kenya. Over the past century, these have adapted to Kenya's high-phosphate soil, creating the special acidic aroma characteristic of Kenyan beans, distinct from Bourbon beans in Central and South America. This Kenyan native 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 yields. Through experiments, they obtained SL28. SL28 is a genetic variant with mixed lineage from French missionaries, Mocha, and Yemeni 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 later yields were not as high as expected, its copper-colored leaves and broad bean-shaped beans offer wonderful sweetness, balance, and complex, varied flavors, with notable citrus and black plum characteristics. This important variety introduces us to the unique Kenyan style: strong, rich fruit acidity, full body, and beautiful balance. Kenya AA is one of these.

SL28 is a delicious variety suitable for cultivation in medium to high-altitude areas with limited leaf rust disease. It can yield 1.8 tons of green beans per hectare. Only when you taste the charming plum-like acidity can you truly appreciate this Kenyan national treasure.

Region Introduction

This green bean comes from the Chakuny Factory 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. Most Kenyan coffee comes from small-scale farmers (about 65%) and large farms (about 35%).

Flavor Profile

Classic Kenyan flavor: rich, high body, caramel, blackcurrant, apple, pure, long finish with full tropical fruit and fresh citrus aroma. The sweet taste is like holding preserved mangoes and plums in your mouth. At medium to low temperatures, it releases a refreshing lime fragrance, like drinking iced fruit tea! Very distinctive cherry tomato flavor!! Full of the passionate and bold flavors characteristic of African beans!
