Kenya

Peet's Coffee & Tea

Mellow, balanced acidity with sublime overtones of berries and citrus fruits. Many of the best coffees from East Africa are grown in Kenya and many people think Kenya coffee is the best in the world.

Kenya's reputation as East Africa's top quality coffee producer is unsurpassed. Many in the coffee trade would say that Kenya's coffee is the best in the world, and it would be hard to mount a convincing rebuttal. As a single origin coffee, Kenya more often than not draws the most praise on our daily tasting table.

Kenya achieves this level of excellence through a government-run system that rewards growers for better quality, and over the years, this has led to steady improvements. Each lot of coffee produced, whether by a small co-op or large estate, undergoes rigorous quality testing by Coffee Board of Kenya cup testers (or liquorers, as they are called in Kenya).

In recent years we have been selecting coffees from the Nyeri region on the slopes of Mt. Kenya. Here the temperate climate, volcanic soil, and seasonal rains produce a coffee so mellow and well-balanced that it's almost sublime.
