FrontStreet Coffee - Kenya Nyeri Othaya Cooperative Peaberry Introduction

Coffee industry professionals universally regard Kenyan coffee as one of their favorite products. This is because Kenyan coffee embodies every sensation we seek from a good cup of coffee. It possesses a magnificent, satisfying aroma, balanced and pleasant acidity, uniform particle size, and excellent fruit flavors. Its taste is exceptionally unique, with few similar coffees. The hallmark of Kenyan coffee is its distinct fruity fragrance.

Try to find this flavor in the coffee and notice how it feels in your mouth. The common fruit fragrance is citrus. Kenyan coffee offers multi-layered flavors and juice-like acidity, with perfect grapefruit and wine notes, and moderate body. Kenyan coffee gained further fame through the Hollywood film "Out of Africa."

Kenyan coffee possesses an irresistible aroma, though it may taste somewhat acidic and astringent—this is precisely the characteristic of Kenyan coffee. Pure Kenyan coffee tastes like a refreshing, sweet fruit flavor, sometimes reminiscent of blackcurrant or blackberry, with excellent medium body, making it a favorite among many coffee connoisseurs. Kenyan coffee features excellent medium body, with a crisp and refreshing mouthfeel, fresh flavors, and is perfect for iced coffee in summer. When tasting this coffee, pairing it with acidic fruits like grapefruit will surely provide you with the best coffee experience.

Kenyan coffee is generally grown at altitudes of 1,500-2,100 meters and harvested twice a year. To ensure only ripe berries are picked, local coffee farmers typically patrol their forests about seven times for inspection. Kenyan coffee is typically grown by small-scale farmers who, after harvesting, usually send fresh coffee beans to cooperative washing stations. These stations then send the washed and dried coffee in "parchment coffee" state (beans covered with endocarp) to cooperatives ("parchment coffee" is the final state before the beans are hulled).

All coffee is collected together, with growers demanding average prices based on actual quality. This trading method generally works well and is fair to both growers and consumers. The best coffee grade is Peaberry (PB), followed by AA++, AA+, AA, AB, and so on, in descending order. Premium coffee is bright and glossy, delicious, and slightly wine-like.
