Coffee Kenya Reserved - Sochaccy Artisanal Coffee Roastery
KenyaReserved is an excellent premium Arabica coffee sourced from the renowned Nyeri and Kirinyaga regions of central Kenya. These areas are famous for producing some of the best coffee in the world. The beans are grown on fertile volcanic soils at altitudes of 1,700 to 1,900 meters above sea level, which guarantees the coffee a unique depth of flavor and aroma. The region's peculiar climate, characterized by moderate temperatures and abundant rainfall, is conducive to the development of beans with a complex flavor profile.
This coffee is the result of a collaboration between two recognized farmer cooperatives: New Gikaru Farmers Cooperative Society and Mutira Farmers Cooperative Society. The beans are processed at three well-known processing stations: Kahuro, Kagumo and Mugaya. Thanks to years of tradition and the diligence of local farmers who hand-pick the coffee berries, each batch of coffee impresses with its high quality and unique character.
