Kenya AA Samburu Medium Roast
Kenya AA Samburu Medium Roast
Kenya is well known for its highly organised network of coffee cooperatives. This system produces remarkable consistency in growing methods, milling, and auctioning across a web of about 150,000 growers, the majority of which are small-scale farmers. The topography of high-altitude plateaus in major Kenyan coffee regions combined with acidic soil provides excellent growing conditions for Arabica coffee.
All Kenyan coffee is graded primarily by screen size (a measure of the size of the bean, larger being higher grade) immediately after milling; it then proceeds to the weekly auction at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange. The AA Grade is the top grade based on screening.
The Kenya profile is very unique and distinguishes itself easily from other origins. Intense citrus brightness all along the palate and notes of vanilla and bergamot merge with complex winey flavours. A medium body provides balance and grounding.

Nice coffee not too strong, just the way I like it.
We normally buy a kilo of Excelso blend, but usually try a 200gm pack of a different blend.
This time it was the turn of Kenya AA Samburu to be trialled.
We really like this blend.......good flavour, very smooth, with a good strength but not bitter at all......we will be buying this one again.
Highly recommended if you like medium to strong coffee.
Delivery is very quick and the coffee is well worth the money, have not bought as good anywhere else
This coffee has a really rounded flavour - delicate but also very distinct in the different notes. Really delicious
First time I've had these beans and they make a great tasting coffee. I've tried lots of different beans from this company and they are all delicious. Won't order from anywhere else anymore as the coffee from Pebble & Pine is so good
