Tasting suggestions:

Kenyan coffee has a unique taste, and there are few similar coffees. Still, it's worth comparing it to Ethiopian coffee. Taste the African acidity and citrus aromas that emanate from each coffee.

Kenyan coffee is characterized by a distinct fruity aroma. Try looking for this flavor in your coffee and notice how it feels in your mouth. One of the most common fruit fragrances is citrus.

More information about this coffee:

Unlike most countries of origin, Kenya has a formal coffee marketing organization that cups and grades each batch of coffee before it is sold at auction. Starbucks doesn't buy coffee at auctions; instead, our suppliers buy coffee they think Starbucks will like and send Starbucks samples.

Political conditions, drought and the cultivation of new high-yield coffee trees have kept Starbucks interested in Kenya as a coffee supplier.

Starbucks buys coffee primarily based on coffee flavor, which is why we don't assign Kenyan ratings (e.g.,"AA" or "A"). These grades represent only the size of the coffee beans.

Excerpts from Kenyan coffee

Drinking Kenyan coffee reminds me of standing in the middle of a sunflower field on a sunny summer day, letting the breeze pass. Aromas of tropical fruits are mixed with a well balanced unique aroma. When I brew it in the shop as iced coffee, customers always ask,"Is this really coffee?" I couldn't help laughing.
