Some coffees announce themselves with intensity. This one wins you over with clarity.

Fairview Estate has been producing coffee since the early 1900s, making it one of the oldest continuously operating estates in Kenya's Central Highlands. Located along Kiambu Road at 1,750 metres above sea level, the estate combines more than a century of farming experience with a strong focus on sustainability, carefully cultivating SL28 trees on nearly 100 acres nourished by the Riara River.

The result is everything we love about great Kenyan coffee: bright, expressive and beautifully balanced. Expect sparkling cherry acidity, soft peach sweetness and a lingering cola finish that keeps each sip interesting. A classic washed Kenyan with elegance, vibrancy and remarkable clarity.

Sourced from the Fairview Estate in the Kiambu region, this Kenyan offering showcases the distinct profile of the SL28 varietal. Known for its resilience and high quality, this specific cultivar is a cornerstone of East African coffee production, often celebrated for its vibrant acidity and complex sweetness. By utilizing a washed method, the producers emphasize the inherent clarity and brightness of the bean, allowing the sparkling cherry, soft peach, and cola notes to shine through with precision.

When exploring such profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuanced transitions between fruit-forward acidity and deeper, syrupy undertones. This lot, roasted by Five Senses, represents a classic expression of the region’s terroir. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or a curious newcomer, understanding the interplay between varietal selection and processing is essential to appreciating the depth found in every cup.
