Kenya Peaberry Coffee - The Small but Mighty Coffee Bean
Kenya Peaberry Coffee is known for its smooth, intense flavour, fine acidity, and well-rounded aroma. It is produced from coffee beans grown in the Nyeri region of Central Kenya, a mountainous area situated between the Aberdare Range and Mount Kenya, Africa’s second highest peak. Coffee is one of the principal crops grown in the Nyeri region, mostly on smallholder farms. The lower temperatures here, along with rich, fertile soil and frequent rainfall, all help to create the perfect environment for coffee cultivation.
