Aromatic, full-bodied, with fruit flavor, taste rich and perfect. Kenyan coffee has a wonderful fruit flavor, tastes like BlackBerry and grapefruit, and is a favorite of many coffee gluttons. This coffee has an excellent medium purity, crisp and refreshing taste. It has a fresh flavor and is most suitable for drinking iced coffee in summer. When tasting this coffee, if it is paired with sour fruits such as grapefruit, it will certainly give me the best coffee experience. "not much like coffee, but a bit like fruit tea" is the common feeling of many people about this kind of shallow roasted Kenyan coffee. In addition to its obvious and fascinating fruit acid, Kenyan coffee is mostly from small coffee farmers and is grown in different environments in Ethiopia, the origin of Arabica coffee trees in Kenya's northern neighbor, but it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that it began to engage in coffee cultivation. Missionaries introduced Arabica trees from Yemen in the 19th century, but did not plant them in large quantities, until 1893, when Brazil's ancient bourbon coffee seeds were introduced. Coffee is cultivated on a large scale, that is to say, Kenyan coffee is of Brazilian origin, and the taste of Kenyan beans is very different from that of Brazilian beans due to differences in water, climate and handling. Brazilian coffee is planted at a low altitude, with soft texture and no obvious sour taste. In contrast, Kenyan coffee trees are mainly concentrated on the slopes near Mount Kenya, about 4 to 6500 feet above sea level, which is suitable for coffee beans to develop their flavor, because the mountain temperature is lower and the growth is slower, and the aromatic components of coffee beans are fully developed. the acidity of the fruit is more obvious and the texture is harder. In addition, Kenya was an early British colony, and the British had established a set of perfect cultivation and quality control system. After the independence of Kenya, the coffee industry built on the existing foundation.

Taste the African acidity and citrus aromas in each kind of coffee. Kenyan coffee is characterized by a distinctive fruity aroma. Try to find this flavor in the coffee and pay attention to how it feels in the mouth. One of the most common fruit aromas is citrus.

Unlike most countries of origin, Kenya has a formal coffee market organization that reviews and rates each batch of coffee before it is sold at auction.

Starbucks does not buy coffee at auction; instead, our suppliers buy the coffee they think Starbucks will like and send samples to Starbucks. Political conditions, drought and the cultivation of new high-yield coffee trees have made Starbucks still interested in Kenya as a coffee supplier.

Starbucks mainly buys coffee based on its taste, which is why we don't specify a Kenyan grade (such as "AA" or "A"). These grades only represent the size of coffee beans.
