An exceptionally bright and complex Kenyan coffee, known for its intense acidity and classic blackcurrant flavor.
High on the slopes of Mount Kenya lies Kirinyaga, a revered district that produces what are often considered the crown jewels of East African coffee. The AA grade signifies larger, denser beans—though the magic of Kirinyaga is found as much in its process as in its size. With nutrient-rich volcanic soil, consistent rainfall, and centuries-old varieties, the conditions create a near-perfect alchemy. Harvesting here is meticulous, and the washed process enhances the region’s signature brilliance. Kirinyaga AA beans yield a cup full of tension and energy, often with a dynamic interplay between fruit brightness and refined structure. There’s a sense of precision and finesse that places this coffee in the upper echelons of global offerings, revered by both seasoned palates and curious newcomers.
SL-34 Another Scott Laboratories selection, SL-34 is known for its heavy body, clean sweetness, and classic winey acidity, complementing the profile of SL-28.
SL-28 Famous for its outstanding cup quality in Kenya, this variety also thrives in the Rwenzori mountains, providing intense citrus, blackcurrant, and complex acidity.
