This is a nice pairing of citrus and malic acids, coming through like oranges and apples. It is followed with a caramelized sugar sweetness and floral finish.
Kieni AA Lot 4
Big kenya profile with malic and citric acidity. Grapefruit bitters in the finish and a slight herbaceous tomato quality. Great milk chocolate sweetness.

PropertyImg
Produced at the Kieni Factory, part of the Mugaga Farmers’ Cooperative Society, this coffee reflects the meticulous craftsmanship of roughly 900–1,000 smallholder farmers. Situated at elevations of 1,600 to 1,800 meters above sea level, the factory benefits from the region’s cool climate and fertile volcanic soils—ideal for cultivating high-quality Arabica. Many farmers also practice intercropping, planting bananas alongside coffee trees to enhance biodiversity and soil fertility.
The Process
Kieni AA is a standout offering from Kenya’s acclaimed Nyeri region, known globally for its intense sweetness, layered fruit character, and vibrant clarity. This particular lot is bursting with notes of blackcurrant, redcurrant, and plum, balanced by crisp acidity and a long, syrupy finish. Juicy and complex, Kieni is a quintessential Kenyan coffee that consistently impresses with its brightness, structure, and depth. Kieni is processed using Kenya’s renowned washed method with double fermentation, which enhances the coffee’s clarity, brightness, and distinctive fruit profile. The main harvest season runs from November to December, during which only fully ripe cherries are handpicked for processing.
