If you know of other Kenya coffee places, we'd love to hear all about it! ‘Kenya’s reputation as East African’s top-quality coffee producer is unsurpassed. Many in the coffee trade would say that Kenya’s coffee is the best in the world, and it would be hard to mount a convincing rebuttal. As a single origin coffee, Kenya more often than not draws the most praise on our daily tasting table. Kenya achieves this level of excellence through a government-run system, that rewards growers for better quality, and over the years, this has led to steady improvements. Each lot of coffee produced, whether by a small co-op or large estate, undergoes rigorous quality testing by Coffee Board of Kenya cup testers (or liquorers, as they are called in Kenya). Their assessment earns a premium (or a discount) from the base price for the grower, providing a strong incentive to improve quality. Each lot of coffee is then sold at weekly auctions to exporters who represent overseas buyers. We buy our coffee from the auction through an exporter with whom we’ve worked for many years. He sends us samples from each upcoming auction and we give him bids on the lots we prefer. In recent years we have been selecting coffee from the Nyeri region on the slopes on Mt. Kenya. Here the temperate climate, volcanic soil, and seasonal rains produce a coffee so mellow and well-balanced that it is almost sublime. The roasted beans are the most aromatic of any coffee. And they brew a lively cup with complex flavors hinting of citrus and blackberry. While the quality can vary slightly from year to year depending on climatic conditions, we only buy the lots that can best show Kenya’s unique flavors when roasted in the Peet’s style.’ It's absolutely delicious!!

About this coffee:Kirinyaga is the Kikuyu tribe's word for Mount Kenya. The mountain shields Kirinyaga from monsoons and brings the region rain from the Indian Ocean. At 6000 ft above sea level, the sloping terrain provides deep, mineral-rich soil and excellent drainage. Here, farmers with 200-300 coffee trees handpick only the ripest cherries each day."
