  • About Kianderi | Kenya

    Kenya produces some of our favourite coffees. They grow a unique set of varietals centred around SL28 that are known for producing coffees with bright, juicy flavour characteristics. We first visited the Kianderi co-operative in December 2016 and have been buying their coffee ever since. This is a stunning PB bean-size extended ferment microlot. After delivery, the cherry was pulped and dry fermented in tanks before being washed and graded in channels. Once the washing process was completed the coffee was dried on raised tables.

    We love the bright, distinctive tasting notes that include blackcurrant, rhubarb and nectarine.

The Producer

Kianderi

Kianderi is a cooperative of coffee producers located in the Kirinyaga district south of mount Kenya. We've been buying coffee from them since 2016, and this year we had to purchase and import the coffee entirely ourselves, which presented a few interesting challenges!

Kenyan coffee tends to showcase bright, juicy flavours with high acidity. The varietal, high altitude, volcanic soil, climate and processing are all key factors that contribute to the unique Kenyan flavours profile.

Kenyan coffee at its best

Outstanding coffee. Perfectly roasted. This is an excellent example of why Kenyan coffees are world-renowned - it is blackcurranty and fruity, with a rich depth that is classic to this style of coffee.

Great tasting coffee

Coffee is very nice but I order my coffee to arrive 5 days before my previous coffee runs out this was roasted 5 days before I received it so a bit older than I would have liked it when having my first shot. If I had known this I would have ordered it the day before but I then read there is a seven day roasting window which means it could get roasted the same day and then wouldn't be ready to use.

But the coffee has a lovely taste and would definitely recommend it on that.

Just what you would expect from a great washed Kenyan. Loads of black fruit and good sweetness. A pleasure.

Juicy & citrusy

Agree with other comments. I brew filter and it is a lovely fruity coffee, bright sour & sweet.

Truly delicious

One of the best coffees I’ve tasted. Fruity, citrusy, but with a great body too (I drink it as espresso.) Has become a favourite.

Delicious!

Really loved this coffee. Super fruit flavours at the finish, with a great dark sugar note throughout. For me, it was a perfect balance between a complex/interesting tasting coffee, and one that you’d want to go back to on a daily basis.

Excellent

I'm not that much of a coffee expert or enjoyer but it still managed to impress me with its characteristic aroma. Definitely recommend it.

The coffee from HCR is always of high quality. I enjoy East African coffee and ordered this, together with an Ethiopian Beloya. They are both light and, in my opinion, fruity coffees which can be enjoyed at any time of the day. I have yet to be disappointed in a coffee from HCR and their delivery time from placing an order to receipt is excellent.

Simply perfect

I had doubts I was going to be able to pull a good shot with my reasonably priced espresso machine. Not so, this coffee makes the perfect flat white. Easy to find the right grind (a little courser than some). I shall be back for more.

My favourite so far

I always favour Kenyan coffee, don't know why; I'm sure a coffee guru could tell me. This particular one is the best I've ever tasted: kind of sweet but not, different flavour to the typical house blends I buy. To be fair to I've got a lot better at brewing the stuff than before but I still rate this top of my list.

Kenya is always sweet

Very Good coffee, beans size are huge !
Not similar to old lot of SL28, however it is very balanced cup of coffee with obvious acidity flavor.
