Last Updated: 2024/09/20, Most of Kenya's coffee trees grow in the mountains to the north and west of the capital Nairobi. There are two main producing areas. One extends southward from the southern slope of Kilinaga, Kenya's highest peak, to near the capital Nairobi. This area is close to the equator and is the largest coffee-producing area in Kenya. In addition, there is a relatively small producing area located on the eastern slope of the Elgon Mountains.

The vast majority of Kenyan coffee trees grow in the mountains to the north and west of the capital Nairobi, with two main producing areas, one extending southward from the southern slope of Mount Kirinaga, Kenya's highest peak, to near the capital Nairobi, which is close to the equator and is the largest coffee-producing area in Kenya, in addition to a relatively small producing area located on the eastern slope of the Elgon Mountains. Kenya grows high-quality Arabica coffee beans, which absorb almost the essence of the whole coffee tree, with a slightly sour, thick aroma, bright, complex, fruity flavor and grapefruit aroma, suitable for hot or ice drinks; it is for this reason that Europeans love Kenyan coffee, especially in the UK and even surpassing Costa Rican coffee as the most popular coffee.

Coffee trees in Kenya can bloom twice a year. Most coffee trees bloom in March and April after the long rainy season, and in most coffee producing areas, the harvest season lasts from October to the end of the year. Some coffee trees blossom in October or November and are harvested in July of the following year. Kenyan coffee has always been picked by hand, and farmers harvest only red ripe coffee beans, and each tree is picked again about every ten days or so.

The Kenyan government takes the coffee industry very seriously and responsibly, where it is illegal to cut down or destroy coffee trees. The buyers of Kenyan coffee are world-class high-quality coffee buyers, and no other country can grow, produce and sell coffee continuously like Kenya. The grades of Kenyan coffee can be divided into AA++, AA+, AA and AB. Among them, Kenya AA is the highest grade coffee in Kenya and the best Arabica coffee bean in the world.

The taste of Kenyan AA coffee is as intriguing as the beautiful natural scenery of Africa. It has an irresistible aroma, although it tastes a little sour, but this is the characteristic of Kenyan AA coffee. Pure Kenyan coffee tastes like a fresh and sweet fruit flavor, tastes like a BlackBerry, and is excellent medium mellow. Kenyan AA coffee is like a lover in love, sweet and hot for coffee lovers who like it.
