Passion fruit leads, pineapple and blood orange fill in underneath, and elderflower drifts around the edges. It's a long way from the crisp blackcurrant-and-citrus profile most people expect from Kenya, and that contrast is the whole point of this lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a natural Kenyan is so unusual\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenya is washed-coffee country, almost by law. Nearly every cherry is delivered to a \"factory\" (the local word for a washing station) for wet processing, and it's actually illegal to buy unprocessed parchment straight from farmers. Leaving the whole cherry to ferment and dry on the bean, the way naturals are made, is a recent and still uncommon move here. That's what makes this one worth a detour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe varietals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/varieties.worldcoffeeresearch.org\/varieties\/sl28\"\u003eSL28\u003c\/a\u003e, the famous Kenyan workhorse selected back in 1935 for its standout cup at altitude (gorgeous in the glass, but low-yielding and a magnet for disease), blended with \u003cstrong\u003eRuiru 11\u003c\/strong\u003e, a hardy Kenyan-bred hybrid released in 1985 to shrug off leaf rust and Coffee Berry Disease.
