The Coffee
Kenya Estate is a bright, lively, AA quality coffee is grown in the Nyeri region just 100 miles from the foot of Mount Kenya.
Kenyan coffee is well known for its vibrant acidity and crisp, fresh taste and Kenya Estate is no exception.
Grown by Acacias Members from six cooperative societies, the beans have been awarded the AA grade, which refers to their larger than normal bean size.
Green coffee beans are graded through cascading layers of sieves, each decreasing in size, until the coffee is trapped on a grading tray. The AA grade makes this some of the finest coffee in the world.
Kenya Estate is a light roast, releasing a bright and lively acidity. It has delicious fruity notes of pineapple and red berries with hints of strawberries and cream at the finish.

We’re often asked when the next new coffee is coming. The truth is, bringing a new coffee into the H.R.Higgins range is never rushed. It’s a process that takes time, care and a great deal of tasting.
