Kenya Central Highlands
 
This coffee is a vibrant expression of classic Kenyan character, sourced from select producing groups across Kenya’s central counties. Built for both quality and consistency, this lot brings together carefully chosen coffees that showcase the bright, structured profile Kenya is known for — layered fruit, lively acidity, and remarkable clarity in the cup.
 
While many Kenyan coffees are offered as tiny, single-factory microlots, this AA FAQ lot represents a broader regional selection, thoughtfully assembled to deliver a dependable and approachable take on the origin. In Kenya, AA refers to the larger bean screen size (17–18), while FAQ is a cup quality designation meaning fair to average quality within the country’s classification system. Even within that framework, each lot is selected by experienced quality teams to meet a specific profile and roasting standard.
 
The result is a coffee that captures the bold, fruit-forward personality Kenya is celebrated for, while offering consistency over larger volumes and longer availability.
