Farm Introduction: Kenya Nyeri Thagrini Peaberry

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 small-scale farmers and cooperatives. Kenya's coffee trees are predominantly grown at altitudes ranging from 1,400 to 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 ranges. Many coffee-growing 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 lineage varieties in Kenya. Over the past century, these varieties have adapted to Kenya's high-phosphorus soil, developing the distinctive acidic aroma characteristic of Kenyan coffee, setting it apart from Bourbon beans in Central and South America. This native Kenyan variety was created in 1930 by Scott Laboratories, abbreviated as SL. Agronomists sought to develop a Bourbon variety resistant to diseases and pests with high yields, resulting in SL28 through experimentation.

SL28 is a genetic variant with mixed heritage from French Mission, 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 did not meet expectations, its copper-colored leaves and broad bean shape produce wonderful sweetness, balance, and complex, varied flavors, with prominent citrus and black 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 of these notable varieties.

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

Regional Introduction

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