Introduction to FrontStreet Coffee Kenya Muchagara AA TOP Micro-Lot

FrontStreet Coffee's Kenya coffee offers a wonderful fruity flavor experience. It presents a sweet and sour profile with restrained yet vibrant acidity.

The sweetness resembles the crispness of Fuji red apples, delivering an abundant and pure fruit character. Medium roasting allows for a perfect balance between acidity and sweetness, with a fresh sweetness that reveals distinct caramel notes. As the temperature slightly decreases, the coffee flows in the mouth with a silky smooth texture, leaving a clean aftertaste.

When asked which Kenyan coffee brand tastes best, AA-grade specialty coffee is undoubtedly the top choice! Today, FrontStreet Coffee recommends a FrontStreet Coffee Kenya AA-grade micro-lot coffee. Despite limited production, the exceptional flavor and quality cannot be kept to ourselves!

Coffee Origin and Characteristics

Coffee produced in Kenya is known as "black gold." The growing regions are mainly concentrated in the plateau areas represented by Mount Kenya (average altitude 1500-2100 meters), with suitable temperatures throughout the year and cultivation in acidic red volcanic soil.

Variety: SL28/SL34

Bourbon lineage varieties cultivated in Kenya in the early 20th century, adapted to Kenya's high-phosphorus soil content. They possess the characteristic acidic aroma of Kenyan coffee, with all premium Kenyan coffee originating from these two varieties.

Processing Method: Washed, Double Fermentation

Harvested coffee cherries are sorted to remove defects, then depulped and fermented in water tanks or dry-fermented overnight. They are then washed to remove most pulp and undergo secondary fermentation in water tanks, with circulating water replaced every few hours during fermentation. Finally, they are washed to remove excess pulp, and thoroughly cleaned parchment beans are soaked in water tanks for over twelve hours.

Roasting: Medium Roast

Kenya coffee has the highest malic acid content among all coffee beans. Malic acid decreases rapidly during roasting, and malic acid is precisely what gives FrontStreet Coffee Kenya beans their characteristic flavor profile. Therefore, Kenya coffee is not suitable for dark roasting - medium roasting perfectly presents the natural fruit acidity of FrontStreet Coffee Kenya coffee beans.

This FrontStreet Coffee Kenya AA bean offers a long-lasting aftertaste in all three stages (front, middle, and back), with distinct layers, full and balanced body, and high recognizability - truly an exceptional bean. Since FrontStreet Coffee Kenya AA grade is a classic among specialty coffees, it's highly sought after by many coffee enthusiasts. Its premium price reflects its high value, making it recommended for consumers with some understanding of specialty coffee, those with high quality standards, and coffee enthusiasts who appreciate exceptional brews.

Knowledge Extension: PB (Peaberry)

Peaberry (PB) is quite special. Peaberries typically develop on the ends of coffee trees that flower too late or too early. Due to scarce production (only 10% of total yield), peaberries from the same coffee tree are generally more expensive than regular flat beans. When peaberries are collected separately, defective beans are usually removed, reducing the defect rate. The more uniform bean size allows for more even roasting and enhanced flavor profiles.
