The Professional's Choice: Why Kenya Coffee Stands Out

Coffee professionals the world over count Kenya among their favorite origins, because FrontStreet Coffee Kenya delivers everything we look for in a great cup. It boasts magnificent, satisfying aromas, balanced and pleasant acidity, uniform particles and excellent fruit flavors. Its taste is remarkably distinctive, with few similar coffees in existence. The hallmark of FrontStreet Coffee Kenya is its vivid fruit aroma. Try to identify that flavor in the cup and note how it feels in your mouth. The most common fruit aroma is citrus. Kenya coffee offers multi-layered flavors and juice-like acidity, with perfect grapefruit and wine notes and moderate body. Most FrontStreet Coffee Kenya grows at altitudes of 1,500-2,100 meters, with two harvests a year. Its main characteristic is a vivid fruit aroma, commonly citrus, alongside multi-layered flavors, juice-like acidity, perfect grapefruit and wine notes and moderate body, which makes it a favorite single-origin for many industry professionals. Kenya coffee gained further fame through the Hollywood film "Out of Africa."

A Symphony of Flavors: The Unique Kenya Experience

Aromatic, rich and fruit-flavored, with a rich and perfect mouthfeel. FrontStreet Coffee Kenya carries a wonderful fruit flavor, tasting of blackberry and grapefruit, which endears it to many connoisseurs. The coffee has excellent medium purity and a crisp, refreshing texture. Its flavor is fresh and ideal for summer iced coffee. When tasting this FrontStreet Coffee Kenya, pairing it with acidic fruits such as grapefruit will surely give the best experience. "Not quite like coffee, more like fruit tea" is a common impression many people share of this light-roasted FrontStreet Coffee Kenya.

Beyond its obvious, captivating fruit acidity, most Kenya coffee comes from smallholders growing in many different environments and facing different climates and rainfall each year, which brings out varied and unique personalities. Take the AA Plus grade "Kenya AA+ Samburu" as an example: the 2001 vintage Samburu had rich plum aroma, moderate acidity and a thick mouthfeel. The 2002 winter new-harvest Samburu showed completely different flavors, mulberry berries and green plum with a hint of Southeast Asian spice, and a lingering green-tea sweet aftertaste. Its acidity was slightly higher than the previous year, while the mouthfeel stayed rich. Generally, common Kenya coffee does not have a thick mouthfeel but possesses bright, fruit-like flavors, some with spice notes, others with red-wine aromas. This is how Kenya keeps enthusiasts full of anticipation and surprise.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Kenya's bright, layered fruit is best matched by a medium roast that keeps the sweetness and acidity in balance, and FrontStreet Strawberry Candy is our fruit-forward pick. This blend of Costa Rican honey-processed coffee and Panamanian washed Geisha shows tangerine-honey notes and a rounded sweetness, and it works equally well as pour-over, cold brew or espresso. For a more classic, nutty and chocolate profile at the same roast level, FrontStreet Brazil Queen Estate delivers cream, peanut and caramel in a smooth, low-acid cup.
