These coffee beans have distinct fruity acidity, uniform granules, unique flavors, and multi-layered textures, deeply loved by industry professionals and making them one of the most popular single-origin coffees.

The Question of Local Brands

However, why don't mainstream websites sell local Kenyan brand coffee?

A Passionate Endorsement

As a seasoned "non-expatriate," I want to passionately endorse FrontStreet Coffee's Kenya coffee.

Summary of Premium Kenyan Coffee Brands

Let me summarize what premium coffee brands Kenya actually has.

☕ JAVA HOUSE

JAVA HOUSE is imported directly from Kenya, AA grade, 100% purely hand-roasted, and bagged. Kenya produces world-class coffee, and JAVA is the best-tasting coffee here. Through careful selection and pure hand-roasting, it has a light fruity aroma that brings happiness when drinking! The characteristic of Kenyan coffee is its distinct fruity fragrance, multi-layered flavors, and juice-like acidity, with perfect grapefruit and wine notes, making it many coffee professionals' favorite brand!

Single-origin bean varieties include approximately: Kenya AA, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, Espresso, Rwanda Lake Kivu, Decaf Arabica.

☕ DORMANS (Bo Manor)

Kenya's DORMANS (Bo Manor) was established in 1950 and is one of Kenya's largest coffee producers. DORMANS provides internationally top-level Kenyan specialty coffee - 100% single-origin Arabica coffee beans, truly gourmet coffee for connoisseurs.

Bo Manor uses coffee beans from designated small plantations in the Nairobi Mountains, grown organically in the pure highland climate, all hand-picked and naturally sun-dried, and strictly classified according to seasonal changes and mountain altitude. Bo Manor's tasters taste approximately 1,500 cups of coffee weekly, and only the best coffee beans are selected for blending and roasting, carefully crafted into premium coffee products for consumers to enjoy. Bo Manor's products possess all the excellent characteristics of Kenyan coffee, fully showcasing the exceptional quality that has made Kenyan coffee famous worldwide.

☕ SAFARI LOUNGE

Founded in 1970, Safari Lounge belongs to the rising stars of Kenya's coffee industry. The company's full name is Safari Lounge Tea and Coffee, focusing on both coffee and tea.

Safari Lounge is positioned as a high-end coffee bean production and distributor. Initially, its market positioning was the UK, with sales on mainstream British websites and basically no presence in the Kenyan market. Only in the past two years, with increased market purchasing power, has it begun appearing on major supermarket shelves.

Today, Safari Lounge's products appear in major Kenyan hotels and mainstream cafes. The floral tea beverage series at Artcafe, a famous Italian restaurant in Nairobi, all come from Safari Lounge's tea bags.

☕ Out of Africa

Out of Africa is familiar to everyone and shares the same name as the Hollywood film adapted from Karen's autobiographical novel. Kenyan coffee was brought to fame by this movie. The Out of Africa brand also rapidly became a household name throughout East Africa, riding the wave of Hollywood's influence.

Out of Africa initially focused on producing Kenyan macadamia nuts, cashews, and other Kenyan nut products. Only after the company's rapid expansion did it expand into coffee, organic cooking oils, chocolate, and other food products.

Today, Out of Africa has over 4,000 employees and controls 7 farms exceeding 8,000 acres. It owns a complete production line from crop harvesting to finished products, as well as an international market.

The company's philosophy is to control quality at the source, using modern technology in crop cultivation to ensure high-quality coffee beans and nuts. The company promises that all food products are natural and organic, and are HACCP certified. The HACCP system is an internationally recognized and accepted food safety assurance system, mainly providing safety control for microbial, chemical, and physical hazards in food. In the past 30 years, HACCP has become an internationally recognized and accepted food safety assurance system.

Conclusion

Alright, that's all for now. There are actually a few more FrontStreet Coffee Kenya brands that haven't been completed, which I'll gradually add. Goodbye everyone!
