Description

Kenya Bora Green Coffee Beans offer a full-bodied coffee experience with a unique flavour profile. Sourced from the high-altitude farms in Kenya's Kericho and Bomet counties, these beans are known for their rich notes of blackcurrant, molasses, and citrus, making them an ideal choice for home roasters looking to enjoy a vibrant and well-rounded coffee.

Kenya Bora Origin and Details

  • Country: Kenya
  • Region: Kericho and Bomet counties
  • Altitude: 1,500 - 1,700 meters above sea level
  • Variety: SL 28 & 34, Ruiru 11
  • Processing Method: Fully washed

Processing Method and Quality Control

Kenya Bora beans undergo a fully washed process, which enhances their bright and clean flavour profile. The high-altitude growing conditions and meticulous processing at the Iyego Farmers Coop Washing Station, supported by the Global Coffee Village initiative, ensure a high-quality coffee with a consistent taste.

Potential Flavour Notes and Characteristics

When roasted, these beans deliver a robust flavour profile with notes of blackcurrant, sweet molasses, and citrus, accompanied by hints of caramel in the aroma. The cup is full-bodied with a bright acidity that brings out the coffee's rich, fruity character.

Benefits of Home Coffee Roasting

Roasting Kenya Bora green beans at home gives you control over the roast level, from light to dark. A lighter roast will highlight the bright citrus and fruity notes, while a medium to dark roast will enhance the deeper molasses and caramel undertones.

Important Disclaimer

These are green, unroasted coffee beans and are not suitable for direct grinding or coffee-making. They must be roasted first before they can be brewed and enjoyed as coffee.

Kenya Bora green beans

Reasonable price and good delivery. Beans roasted well and even. Leaving approx. 7 days to degas before grinding and consuming as espresso in a flat white and Americano versions. I found they produced a drink I am happy with. The correct grind was easy to achieve and the dispensing via an E61 group espresso machine was within parameters. This particular bean tasted slight better to my pallet as Americano than Colombia Finca Sofia bean. However, both are good. Will likely be buying again.

Roast very nicely and blends well with Monsoon Malabar

Average flavour but difficult to remove chaff

The beans are generally fine and produce acceptable coffee, but the chaff does not come all off during roasting unless you you roast very dark. On a medium roast you end up grinding lots of chaff into your coffee.

Kenya Bora.

Have not used it yet. At the moment I am very taken with the Java old brown, but the last time I bought the Kenya from you it was very good.

Quick Service.

Both Kenyan Bora and Majinja Green Beans are excellent. Slow to roast, and hard to burn.

Very disappointed

After a couple of roasts, I have yet to find any redeeming qalities to this coffee. I suspect my batch of beans was old - the grounds do not bloom at all when I pour the water onto them. I roast small batches (60-300 g) to a medium dark roast. So far the results have been muddy and flavourless, like badly overbrewed canteen coffee. Very disappointing.

Kenya Bora green beans

So far, I've found the Bora lacks complexity,depth and richness, compared with the Ethiopian Yirga I was roasting before. Disappointed.

lively tasty brew

A medium roast is plenty enough to bring out very strong blackcurrant aromas a sharp acidity from the ground roasted beans.
It's a lively brew, definately feels like a morning cup to get you going. Lovely after taste aromas on the palatte. I'm no expert but the Kenya Bora exudes quality punch.

Kenya Bora beans

Impressed by speed of delivery - and inclusion of a sample of other green beans. Just completed first roast, enjoyed the result. Would appreciate more detail on provenance - think they are AB size - but are they , for instance, Honey Bush Estate

Usual prompt delivery, nice brew!

Prompt delivery as always.
This Kenyan been gives a nice rounded taste, acid hit to start but soon gives way to nice fruity earthy mocha aftertaste. Did two roasts, city and city++. Preferred filter method over espresso.

Redber as supplier

Friendly helpful service. Much appreciated whilst learning way around green beans. It would be nice to know a bit more about the individual beans and how they were produced and processed. Maybe something to think about in the future......
