Kaganda AA – Kenya

This standout Kenyan lot comes from Kaganda Coffee Factory, a long-established washing station in Murang’a County sitting at around 1800 masl. The region’s high altitude and fertile conditions create the perfect environment for producing coffees with clarity, structure, and vibrant acidity. A blend of SL-28, SL-34, Ruiru 11, and Batian brings together classic Kenyan character with a refined, modern edge.

In the cup, expect an expansive and layered profile. It opens with rich notes of blackcurrant jam, rhubarb, and brown sugar sweetness, followed by a lively acidity carrying dried mango, caramel, and black cherry. The finish is elegant and aromatic, with delicate hints of rosehip and chamomile. The result is a balanced yet vibrant coffee with a long, sweet aftertaste.

Carefully processed using the washed method, this lot showcases exceptional cleanliness and precision. Founded in 1970 and now supported by over a thousand smallholder farmers, Kaganda is known for its consistent quality and attention to detail. If you’re looking for a Kenyan coffee that delivers both classic intensity and nuanced complexity, this is it.
