Jelle's Notes

About ten years ago, Kenyan coffee was one of the most popular origins because of its very floral notes and distinct cassis flavor. Over the past few years, I, and specialty coffee lovers with me, noticed many Kenyan coffees developed a brown sugar note and lost some of their clarity, which in turn made them less popular. I was still on the lookout for those classic washed Kenyan coffees, and Kianamui is a great example of exactly that. It’s floral, clean, and cassis-forward, without any brown sugar notes. This is how I recognize the Kenyan coffee taste, and that’s how specialty coffee drinkers seem to experience it as well.

Kianamui’s clean acidity really shines in espresso, but most people prefer it as a filter coffee where the cassis flavor stands out even more.
