Kenyan coffee beans, 100% Arabica, grown high up in fertile soil that gets rain and sun the whole year round. The cup is fruity and full-bodied with berries running through it, and a bright acidity that the roast keeps in check: these beans are taken just a shade past medium, far enough to draw out the natural sugars but not so far that the fruit disappears. Whole beans, freshly roasted.

Details

Coffee from Kenya

Kenya grows its coffee at altitude, on fertile soil that gets both steady rainfall and sunshine through the year. Beans that ripen slowly in those conditions end up dense, and density is where the fruit and the acidity in a Kenyan cup come from. This one is 100% Arabica, so there is no Robusta blunting it.

What it tastes like

Fruity and full-bodied, with berries as the clearest note. There is a definite acidity — that is the point of a Kenyan coffee rather than a fault — and the roast is pitched to balance it: a shade darker than medium, far enough to bring the natural sugars forward without roasting the fruit away. At 8 out of 13 on our strength scale it is a confident cup that still leads with aroma rather than bitterness.

Brewing it

Bright, fruity coffees like this one show best where the water has time and room: a filter, a pour-over or a cafetière. Pulled as espresso the berry notes concentrate into something closer to jam and the acidity comes through sharper, which is either exactly what you want or not at all. They are whole beans, so you will need a grinder or a bean-to-cup machine.

FAQ

Customer Questions

Which coffee beans are used in the Kenya 100% arabica coffee?

The Cafe du Jour 100% arabica Kenya is made from Kenyan arabica beans of the AA FAQ quality. AA is the Kenyan grading for the largest beans: after hulling, the beans are screened by size and AA is the coarsest screen. Large, even beans roast evenly. FAQ stands for Fair Average Quality, the standard a lot of this class has to meet. The beans grow at high altitude on fertile soil, with plenty of rain and sun all year round. We roast them just a touch beyond medium so the natural sugars come forward and balance the acidity. The result in your cup is a full, fruity coffee with notes of berries.

What is the roast date?

The roast date of Café du Jour's coffee beans is usually a maximum of four weeks before dispatch. This means that the coffee beans are generally no older than four weeks when they arrive at your door.

Many people ask if coffee beans are already too old after three weeks. The answer to that is: no. Freshly roasted coffee actually reaches its best flavour after a few weeks. During roasting, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is created inside the coffee beans, which can mask the taste at first. That is why coffee is at its best between one and four weeks after roasting.

After roasting, the beans are immediately packed in special coffee bags with a one-way valve. This valve allows CO₂ to escape without letting oxygen in, so the aromas are preserved and the coffee remains fresh. This way, you can count on an optimally fresh product with a full flavour!

Which flavour notes can I expect from these Kenya 100% arabica coffee beans?

These Kenyan coffee beans are characterised by a lively and fruity character, with distinct notes of berries, blackcurrant, and grapefruit. We have roasted the beans just slightly beyond medium so that the natural sugars are beautifully balanced with the characteristic bright acidity of Kenyan coffee.

What makes these Kenyan coffee beans special compared to other coffee varieties?

These beans come from high, fertile grounds in Kenya and contain coffee varieties such as SL28 and SL34, which are known for their high quality and distinctive flavour profile. Thanks to the combination of climate, soil, and the artisanal roasting process, you will taste a full, fruity symphony that is characteristic of top quality from Kenya.

In what kind of packaging are these coffee beans delivered and how does the coffee stay fresh?

Our Kenya coffee beans are always delivered in a resealable coffee bag with a special valve. This allows air to escape, but not enter, which significantly extends the freshness. Thanks to the airtight seal, your coffee remains full of aroma down to the very last bean.

Are these coffee beans suitable for fully automatic machines and espresso machines?

Yes, these Kenya 100% arabica coffee beans are suitable for all brewing methods that use whole beans, such as fully automatic machines, semi-automatic machines, and espresso machines. The fruity notes are beautifully expressed in both espresso and longer coffee variants.
