Meru, located on the eastern slopes of Mount Kenya, boasts a unique terroir that contributes to the exceptional quality of its coffee. The region’s high altitude, fertile volcanic soil, and ideal climate create the perfect environment for cultivating Arabica coffee. These conditions allow the coffee beans to develop slowly, enhancing their complexity and depth of flavor.

In Kenya, coffee beans are classified based on their size, shape, and density. The “AB” grade represents a combination of two screen sizes, 15 and 16. This grade ensures that the beans are uniformly sized, which is crucial for consistent roasting. Kenyan Meru AB coffee is renowned for its bright acidity, full body, and delightful flavor notes that stand out among other grades.

Brewing Perfection: How to Prepare Kenyan Meru AB Coffee

To truly appreciate the nuances of Kenyan Meru AB coffee, careful preparation is essential. Here are some recommended methods:

• Pour-Over: This method allows precise control over the brewing process, highlighting the coffee’s bright acidity and complex aromas.

• French Press: For a fuller body and more intense aromatic experience, the French Press is ideal. It brings out the richness and depth of the coffee.

• Espresso: Although typically enjoyed as a filter coffee, Kenyan Meru AB can also shine as a bright and fruity espresso, offering a unique twist to your usual espresso routine.

Flavor Profile

• Aroma: A fragrant bouquet of floral and fruity notes, with citrus accents that immediately captivate the senses.
