Kenyan Coffee Overview

Kenya is a powerhouse in specialty coffee. The quality of top coffee lots is rewarded through the weekly Nairobi auction, a unique system where quality directly links to price.

The best Kenya coffees are known for complex brightness — think citrus, berry, and black currant. They're bold, juicy, and clean — not for people who dislike acidity, but a dream for those who do.

Flavor profiles range from citrus and spice to winey and syrupy sweet. A great Kenyan coffee balances acidity with sweet complexity, often with floral notes and high clarity.

Kenya coffee has around 700,000 farmers, most of whom are smallholder farmers with less than 1 acre of farmland.
