No collection of coffee would be complete without a prizewinning offering from Kenya. At its best, it could be argued that it surpasses any coffee in the world—this should not be confused with the country's more ordinary coffee. The finest aroma of any coffee, thanks to its immense, blackcurrant acidity, delivers value for money on fragrance alone.
Recently, coffee from this co-operative won the Specialty Coffee Association's Blind Cupping Competition, scoring 98 out of 100.

Grown by smallholder farmers of the Bisembe co-operative in Kisii County, western Kenya, this coffee comes from a mountainous region famed for evergreen farms. Kisii records one of the highest rainfalls in the country, positioned in the Lake Victoria basin and forested Gusii Highlands. With its mild climate, fertile land and undulating hills, the area resembles the Jamaican Blue Mountains. The coffee bushes are largely the Blue Mountain varietal, grown at well over 6,000 feet—the same altitude that makes great coffee truly distinctive.
