Kenya AA Coffee Review

[John P]

jc,

I know, you gotta start somewhere... I don't question what you are tasting. But I do question buying when there is nothing about who is roasting it, what their expertise is, etc. And the coffees seem like C market type coffees. No milling stations, farms, and the big giveaways that they are WAY overcharging for average to substandard coffees is the "Colombian Supremo" and the "Hazelnut" one is generic and the other is a travesty.

Just read and research. Don't believe everything you read. Use common sense to differentiate. And maybe order coffee from known, proven, and respected roasters.

Best on your journey.

Agree... I thought it was odd they were offering Death Wish coffee..

I love the review and am a big fan of that type of packaging. Is it just me, or does it make a big difference in the taste quality. I really think so. I'm excited to try this out! You had me a chocolate!

There are lots (<- pun) of Kenyan coffees on the market: I have 4 which are not often seen in the U.S. they are available SPOT from 3 private warehouses (Spokane WA, Portland OR, San Diego CA). Minimum order is 1 bag (60kg). Private message for serious inquiries.

*These were sourced independently and imported directly and in compliance with all necessary import procedures

We use Kenya AA Samburu Estate in one of our blends but I bring the single origin home to drink. One of the perks of the business, right? Never can decide if I like it better than our Ethiopian Sidamo, maybe it just depends on the day, but it is always a bright coffee. JavaCentral you should get yourself some Sumatra Mandheling or Lintong and compare it side-by-side with the Kenya you have. That should make the differences very apparent and help you better see - earthy, bright, acidity, etc. Although I'll never be able to taste all the tastes in a coffee. When I read SweetMaria's coffee reviews I'm always wondering, 'How's this guy tasting quince, toasted almond, slightly burnt cherry, dark chocolate, and molasses in a single cup of coffee.'

Also you might want to taste the same coffee at different temperatures -- the flavor can change a lot from fresh brewed to when it attains room temp. And scientifically your taste buds give you better feedback when coffee (or whatever) is within certain temperature ranges.

I didn't try this sort of coffee, but I read reviews about this coffee on my company What about me I want to order this!

Thank you for this review, this is really an amazing kind of coffee. Its taste is incredible.

I always order coffee only from known and respected roasters. I like coffee so much, that I cannot risk and order it somewhere I know nothing about it.

Yesterday i surprisedly found a new package of the dark roasted Kenya AA in coffee shop where i am working for ....I brewed it by V60 but it had very terrible taste, no any acidities or fruity favors, either me or my coworker were willing to sip it again ... .i could not understand why our owner wants to purchase Kenya AA with dark roasted level...who are the hell going to order that one.
However next time i am going to ask our coffee bean supplier is it really Kenya AA ,why does it roasted by dark level...
Has anyone heard of Kenya AA roasted by dark level?

Hi,I am just curious about why roaster roasts Kenyan AA by dark level , what taste or flavor do they want it has? Is dark level roasted Kenya AA good for pour-over coffee?
