The Best Kenyan Coffee Roasts
Live data · 10 roasts
This guide brings together ten Kenyan roasts from London roasters and beyond, covering a range of processing styles and growing regions — from Nyeri to Gura. The flavour profiles here tend toward the bright and fruit-forward: expect recurring notes of blackcurrant, citrus, and red fruits, with a few roasts offering more unusual characters like oolong tea or rosehip. Whether you're new to Kenyan coffee or looking to compare what different roasters do with similar material, this is a practical place to start.
Kiss the Hippo accounts for five of the ten entries, which reflects either a particularly consistent sourcing focus on Kenya or strong engagement from the London audience with their output — likely both. Across the full list, dark berry and citrus notes dominate, which is characteristic of Kenyan lots processed through traditional washing stations, and suggests the selection skews toward that classic high-acidity profile rather than experimental or natural-processed offerings. The bottom of the ranking — Assembly and Stumptown — are notably less specific in their published flavour notes, which may be a factor in how they sit relative to roasters offering more defined tasting descriptors.
