About coffee from Kenya
Kenyan coffee is mostly grown by smallholders around Mount Kenya, often from the SL28 and SL34 varieties, and is usually washed. It's known for bright, juicy acidity with blackcurrant, citrus and red fruit. "AA" on a Kenyan coffee refers to bean size, not quality score.
What the process means
In a washed process, the fruit is removed from the bean before it dries. Washed coffees tend to taste clean and bright, and show off the character of the origin.

The people behind this coffee
Meet Heart Coffee Roasters
Heart Coffee Roasters opened in Portland, Oregon, in 2009 and is owned and operated by Wille and Rebekah Yli-Luoma. Its original cafe on East Burnside was built around a working vintage Probat roaster, and it now runs cafes plus a separate roasting facility. Heart does not label roast levels; it aims for even development that brings out sweetness and fruit, and ties every bag to a quality-tested roast record. The roaster publishes the FOB price it paid for each coffee and reports direct relationships with producers in Kenya, Ethiopia, Colombia, Honduras and other origins. Its clean, fruit-forward Kenyan and Ethiopian lots and price transparency make it a good roaster for home brewers who want to know exactly what they are buying.
