Kenya Harvest Reserve: The Essence of Kenyan Craftsmanship

Introducing "Kenya Harvest Reserve" – a coffee that embodies the essence of Kenyan coffee craftsmanship. This blend comprises AB screen size coffees from various estates and cooperatives, predominantly cultivated by dedicated smallholders, each nurturing an average of 200 coffee trees. The cherries, handpicked at the peak of ripeness, embark on a journey from the farms to cooperative factories (wet mills). Here, they undergo meticulous processing, including disc pulping, full fermentation, washing, and sun-drying on elevated drying tables. The result is a carefully consolidated parchment, ready for the final steps at dry mills, where it's hulled, graded by size and density, and prepared for sale.

Kenya is renowned for its green coffee beans, known for bold, fruit-forward flavors and lively acidity. The legendary SL-28 and SL-34 varietals, developed in the 1930s by Scott Agricultural Laboratories (hence, SL), have been instrumental in shaping Kenyan coffee's exceptional cup quality. Even in high-altitude conditions, they deliver a remarkable yield and resist drought. Following the 1968 coffee berry disease (CBD) epidemic, the CBD-resistant Ruiru-11 varietal was developed and swiftly embraced throughout the country.
