This high mountain-grown Arabica coffee grows on the slopes of Mount Kenya. Kenyan coffee is graded by the size of the bean, with “AA” as the largest. The main growing area stretches south from the high altitudes of Mt. Kenya and reaches almost to the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Kenyan coffee, like the Arabian Mocha and the Ethiopian Sidamo to the north, has a refreshingly dry and winey aftertaste.The Kenyan bean is renowned for the full-bodied richness that other competitor beans lack. The coffees of Kenya are getting better because the growers are responding to government incentives encouraging quality. An exceptional coffee for those who like the striking and unusual. For those seeking comparison: Although the Kenya AA Regular is not so winey as the Ethiopian Sidamo, it is most notable for its fuller body and more intense flavour all around than the Yemen Mocha.
