Kenyan Coffee Tasting Notes: Bold and Bright

Coffee connoisseurs regard coffee beans from Kenya as some of the finest in the world. Kenyan coffee tasting notes are bold and bright, with floral or fruity undertones and deeper tones that hint of wine. Check out the guide below for more details on what makes coffee from Kenya special.

CHARACTERISTICS

When we think of Kenya coffee, "deep" and "complex" spring to mind. Kenya coffee beans are known for their nuanced, varied flavors and their full- to medium-bodied strength.

FLAVOR

The best Kenya coffee should taste clean but vibrant, and it should have a fruity or wine-like aftertaste. Good Kenya beans don't need any help; you only need beans from one farm to roast a stunning cup of coffee, which is why they're a perfect choice for single-origin coffee.

As a guide, Kenya coffee generally tastes either crisp and fruity, or bold and juicy.

AROMA

Kenya coffee beans give off a pleasant floral or fresh scent, depending on the particular bean variety. This is a coffee with a distinct presence, and it's sure to please even the most discerning coffee connoisseur.

KENYA AA COFFEE

Kenya AA coffee is the largest bean in the Kenyan grading system, meaning it delivers the best possible combination of flavour, aroma, and aftertaste. Experts agree that Kenya coffee beans are some of the richest and most complex on the market, and they're ideal for single-origin coffee roasts.
