Kenya Harvest Reserve | Kenyan Coffee Craftsmanship

Experience the essence of Kenya’s rich coffee heritage with Kenya Harvest Reserve, a blend that celebrates the craftsmanship and dedication of Kenyan coffee farmers.

Flavor Profile:

  • Dark chocolate
  • Brown spice
  • Apricot
  • Chamomile
  • Bright acidity
  • Medium body

What makes it extraordinary:

  • Handpicked Perfection: Each cherry is handpicked at peak ripeness and processed with precision at cooperative wet mills, where traditional methods like disc pulping, full fermentation, washing, and sun-drying on raised tables ensure the highest quality beans.
  • Legendary Varietals: This blend features the iconic SL-28 and SL-34 varietals, developed in the 1930s by Scott Agricultural Laboratories. These varietals are known for their resistance to drought and ability to thrive in high-altitude conditions, delivering the bold and vibrant flavors that define Kenyan coffee. The Ruiru-11 varietal, developed after the 1968 coffee berry disease epidemic, adds a unique element with its CBD resistance and adaptability.
  • Meticulous Processing: After sun-drying, the parchment coffee is consolidated and sent to dry mills for hulling and grading by size and density, resulting in consistently high-quality beans that are prepared for sale.

Processing:
This coffee is washed, a process that brings out the clean, bright flavors and enhances the lively acidity that Kenyan coffees are known for.

Harvest:
