Kenyan
Black Tea
Black
tea is the most widely consumed tea in the world.

oxidation

to the cup in a pale Sienna color and red-orange
tones.
Black
tea flavors can be differentiated by region of
origins
more than other teas.

DELICIOUS
KENYA COFFEE
Kenya
coffee is considered the finest of its kind, grown
at high
altitudes under ideal growing conditions. It is
known for
a high
acidity and average
to brisk body, also
commonly described
as fruity. It has a distinctively bold, yet smooth
taste.
Kenya
achieves this level of excellence through a
government-run
system; that rewards growers for better quality,
which
has led to steady improvements. Each lot of coffee
produced
whether by a smaller coop or large estate,
undergoes rigorous
testing by Coffee Board of Kenya cup testers.
Their assessment
earns a premium (or a discount) from the base
price for
the grower, providing a strong incentive to
improve quality.
Each
lot of coffee is then sold at weekly auctions to
exporters
who represent overseas buyers. A.E.S. Inc. is an
exporter
based in the U.S. They send us samples from each
upcoming
auction and we give them bids on the lots we
prefer.
About
This Coffee:
Beans from Kenya
Coffee Growers
not only impart Kenya’s juicy acidity and
grapefruit notes, but lush, herbal flavor,
full
body and floral aroma as well. At 6,000
ft. above
sea level, the sloping terrain provides
deep, mineral
rich soil and excellent drainage. Here
farmers
with 200-300 coffee trees handpick only
the ripest
cherries each day.
The
roasted beans are the most aromatic of any coffee.
They
brew a lively cup with complex flavors hinting of
citrus
and blackberry. It’s absolutely delicious!
