Origin and plantationWith a world market share of about 1.5%, Kenya plays a rather minor role in terms of quantity. But when it comes to quality and exceptional coffee characters, Kenya is always at the forefront! Kenyan coffee beans have a very firm structure and require more heat during roasting than other coffees. This is because coffee plants in Kenya are grown at altitudes of up to 2,100m, where the coffee can only grow very slowly. Normal flat beans are graded and traded in different commercial classes. For the majority of exports, the classification "AB" applies, while top qualities receive the rating "AA". Due to their rarity, Kenyan "pearl beans" are a real speciality. Pearl beans are formed when the coffee tree can no longer provide sufficient nutrients for the coffee cherries that grow at the extreme end of the bush, and as a result only one bean can form in the cherries. This single bean gathers so much strength and grows so slowly that it is ultimately much more aromatic than a flat bean. Our pearl beans come from the "Kiundi" area and are sorted by hand from a year's harvest.Character and tastePearl beans are of rare beauty and demand all their skill and ability from the experienced roasting master in order to be roasted to "the point". If this is achieved optimally, the typical character of Kenyan coffees develops. Experts describe it as "chocolaty", "vinous", with a strong, spicy richness.

Origin and plantationYemen coffees are mostly sun-dried. The beans are spread out on the stone roofs of the nearby mud houses. The coffee cherries absorb the moisture from the houses, giving them an earthy profile. The beans are separated from the cherries with traditional millstones and then mixed with traditional spices. Yemen coffee is in high demand, but can only be obtained in small quantities. The government and the Office of Agriculture are therefore working to increase production. They plan to develop new cultivation methods, modern irrigation and protected areas for old and young trees.Character and tasteThis aromatically fragrant coffee has wild, exotic notes of black cherry, cinnamon and chocolate, which harmonise with a pleasant acidity. This creamy cup is perfected by a long-lasting, clean finish with a lemony acidity.
