The Pure Kenya Backstory
There are coffees that are good, and there are coffees that are revelatory. Pure Kenya falls firmly, gloriously into the second category – which is why, after all these years, it remains Nairobi’s all-time favourite. For a company whose very name is rooted in the East African highlands, this is not merely a product; it is an expression of identity. Kenya coffees are renowned the world over for their consistently rich flavour, and the coffee beans in this offering earn that reputation with every harvest. Grown at altitude in the fertile red-clay soils of the Kenyan Highlands – Kiambu, Nyeri, Kirinyaga – and processed through the rigorous double-fermentation washing method that gives Kenyan washed coffees their extraordinary clarity and precision, these beans arrive at the Nairobi roastery already exceptional. Available as whole coffee beans – to be savoured in the grinding, the bloom and the pour, Pure Kenya rewards every preparation method that treats it with the respect it deserves. It has a distinctly bright taste with complex tones of fruit and berry that make it a genuinely extraordinary speciality coffee – equally remarkable as a vivid black coffee, a fruit-bright cappuccino, a naturally sweet café au lait, or a latte of rare elegance.
