Kenyan coffee holds a special place in the specialty coffee world, and at Haiku Brew Coffee, we take particular pride in our Kenyan selections. The country's unique combination of high altitude, rich volcanic soils, and distinct varieties creates coffees with unmatched brightness and complexity. Our Kenyan offerings showcase the best of what this exceptional origin has to offer.
The majority of our Kenyan coffees come from small farmers who are members of cooperatives in regions like Nyeri and Kirinyaga. These areas, situated between 1,700 and 2,000 meters above sea level, provide ideal growing conditions for Kenya's premier SL-28 and SL-34 varieties. These cultivars, developed by Scott Laboratories in the 1930s, are renowned for their complex flavor profiles and distinctive blackcurrant notes that have become synonymous with Kenyan coffee.
The Kenyan coffee auction system, combined with our direct relationships with cooperatives, allows us to secure some of the finest lots available. Our current Kenyan offerings feature the bright, juicy acidity that the origin is famous for, alongside notes of blackberry, red currant, and brown sugar. The characteristic "winey" acidity of Kenyan coffee is a result of both the unique varieties grown and the country's distinctive double fermentation process, which creates an unparalleled clarity in the cup.
