The second in our three-part showcase of Kenyan coffees, Kii AA has become a ringing favourite over the years — bright, juicy, and endlessly expressive.
Grown in the rich volcanic soils of Kenya’s Central Highlands, this lot comes from smallholder farmers of the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society, whose farms sit between 1,600 and 1,800 metres above sea level — altitudes that bring out the hallmark density and sweetness of great Kenyan coffee.
At the Kii Factory near Ngariama, the coffee is meticulously processed using the traditional Kenyan washed method, preserving clarity and allowing its complex character to shine. The main varieties of coffee grown are SL34, 28 and Ruiru 11, with SL34, 28 accounting to 99% of all coffee produced while Ruiru 11 accounts to 1 % of all production.
Expect a cup that’s bright and juicy, with notes of strawberry and red lemonade — a true reflection of Kenyan's world-class terroir.
