Kenya is situated along the East African Coast and the equator. The country is surrounded by Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia and Somalia. Arabica was introduced by French Missionaries in about 1894. The first commercial plantations were established around 1908. Kenyan Coffee is celebrated as one of the top bold and distinctive flavor profiles in the coffee world. AA Plus refers to screen size 18 up and top cup quality. It is a fully washed coffee with a specialty coffee association {SCA} score ranging from 85-90. Most of the top producing areas are found around the second tallest mountain in Africa, Mt. Kenya which stands at 5,199 meters. The rich volcanic soils coupled with an annual rainfall of around 1,000-1,200mm makes the ideal climate to develop the top aroma and flavor notes. Each county has small farms who generally band together to form local grower associations and/or cooperatives as well as larger estates giving the country a diverse production base. Walker Coffee has strong historical family ties to Kenya which gives them unique access to the very best coffees available in the country.
