Kenya, located in East Africa, is one of the major coffee producing countries.

More than 6 million people are engaged in the coffee industry.

Most of them are the combination of small farmers and cooperatives.

Coffee trees in Kenya are mostly planted between 1400 and 2000 meters above sea level.

The growth region includes Ruiri, Thika, Kirinyaga, Mt. Kenya West 、

Nyeri, Kiambu and Muranga.

Mainly in the foothills of Mt.Kenya and Aberdare.

There are many producing areas in Kenya that strive to preserve native forest ecosystems.

Protect the natural gene pool, support the reproduction of wild coffee varieties, and breed a variety of coffee trees.

The goal of cultivating SL28 in the first place

It is hoped that coffee beans with high quality and resistance to diseases and pests can be produced in large quantities.

Although the output of SL28 was not as large as expected later.

But copper leaves and broad bean-shaped beans have a great sense of sweetness.

A sense of balance and complex flavor, as well as significant citrus, black plum characteristics.

While SL34 and SL28 are similar in flavor, except for complex and changeable acid quality.

And great sweetness at the end, the palate is heavier, fuller and cleaner than SL28.

SL34 has French missionaries, bourbon, and more Tibica ancestry.

Dou looks similar to SL28, but is more adaptable to sudden heavy rain.

It is these two important varieties that lead us to the unique Kenyan style:

Intense acidity, full-bodied taste and beautiful balance.
