Kenya "Pearls of Africa" Coffee 1kg

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.
