I have come to think of this month’s coffee, Kenya Estate, as being the dry white wine of the coffee world. Kenya Estate coffees are famous, sought after by buyers on the world coffee markets, reaching very high prices for quality and individuality. Their very fine complex flavours dance on the palate. They give our palates a complete contrast of experience to most other fine coffees.
Our Kenya Estate is grown by Acacias members of from six cooperative societies in the Nyeri region, just one hundred miles from the foot of Mount Kenya. We roast Kenya Estate as a light roast because we believe that degree of roasting best unlocks and releases its deliciously fruity undertones and lively acidity.
If you need a morning wake-up start to your day Kenya Estate will provide it with a bright lively flavour and high aroma. Alternatively, it also makes for very fine after-dinner coffee, especially when finishing the meal with a rich pudding or cheese and fruit. It has the ability to cleanse and refresh the palate.
Kenya Estate is a coffee full of character with its own very distinctive personality. It prepares well in all coffee makers. I specially recommend it prepared by pour over filters or plunger pots.
Sincerely
Tony Higgins
