The Kenya coffee is truly unique. The flavors are sweet and bright. This Kenya comes from the Nyeri region. The factory is near an open-air market called Gakindu that sells livestock and produce. The Ruthaka Farmers’ Cooperative Society is approximately 600 members strong. They collectively harvest approximately 280 tons of coffee cherry per year. Coffees at the Ruarai factory uses fresh river water and the cherries are dried in the sun on raised beds. This process contributes to its unique flavor.
Coffee trees in this area are located at the foot of Mt. Kenya. This area is rich with red volcanic soil. The coffee trees flower between February and March, and harvesting then occurs between October and December. Temperatures here range from around 55–77 F, and the area receives around 55 inches of rain each year.

I like to blend my own coffee and particularly like Passport’s Kenya AA. It is roasted as I like it and tastes like Kenya should! Passport has coffees from all around the world with lots of different growing environments represented. Well worth the visit, whether on line or in person. Try the Tanzania Yirgacheff as well for a different, interesting taste.
