Our Vision

Coffee Kenya Brand PDF Print E-mail

The specially tendered Kenyan coffee beans are traditionally exported as green beans for final processing at various market destinations. The high quality Kenyan coffee is used for blending coffee from other destinations.

The export of Kenya coffee as a commodity does not accord it distinctiveness in the market. The Branding initiative is envisaged to facilitate the much needed distinctiveness in the market. The Board took cognizance of that fact and initiated the branding of Kenya

What is Coffee Acidity?

Coffee Acidity is the bright and dry taste that adds life to a coffee. Acidity is unmistakable in most Kenyan coffees. Perceived acidity in coffee does not necessarily correlate to the pH of a coffee, but is believed to be the result of the acids present.

Distinct!

Coffee from Kenya has a distinctly bright acidity and potent sweetness with a dry winy aftertaste. Among the best Kenya coffee, one can find intoxicating black-currant flavor and aroma.
