Kenya AA — Specialty Grade
NDIMA-INI AA
SL28 & SL34 — Kenya's Benchmark Varieties
SL28 and SL34 are Scott Laboratory selections developed in the 1930s that define Kenya's coffee identity. SL28 thrives at higher altitudes and contributes blackcurrant and citrus intensity, while SL34 adds floral complexity and full body. Together they produce the vibrant acidity and sweetness Kenya AA is world-renowned for.
