This is the first NATURAL Kenyan we've got! Traditionally Kenya was just washed coffee but very recently some producers and mills have started to play around with naturally processing their coffee.
It's a very interesting coffee as it has the traditional brightness of Kenyan SL's but with a much higher sugar content.
