Green Bean Coffee: Africa - Kenya

Kenya

Kenyan CoffeeCoffee from Kenya has a distinctly bright acidity and potent sweetness with a dry wine-like aftertaste.  Among the best Kenya coffee, one can find an intoxicating black-currant flavour and aroma.

Kenyan coffee beans are auctioned in Nairobi every Tuesday during harvesting season.  This practice has lead to fierce price wars for the best coffee crops.  A large percentage of coffee in Kenya is produced by small cooperative societies rather than large Kenya coffee estates. Kenyan coffee beans are wet-processed and the Kenyan coffee bean grade is designated by the size of the coffee bean, where AA is largest followed by A and B, which are successively smaller.
