Kenya AA Grade Unroasted Green Arabica Coffee Beans from Kenyan Highlands - 100% Pure Arabica Coffee Beans With Optimal Flavor Freshness - Handpicked, Washed & Sun Dried - 3 LB

Having ordered from Amazon and local Midwestern vendors (most of the latter excellent) I will say without reservation that Bahati is the very best! The freshness is unrivaled—feel almost as if Kenya is as close to Chicago as Wisconsin! Roasted dark or medium, these beans produce coffee that is smooth, and flavorful, with a pleasant aftertaste. (I never have tried a light roast but I’m positive Bahati beans would be excellent for that too!) The price is low (but I’d voluntarily pay more for coffee this good!)

I have roasted these beans twice (to just past first crack) and have been pleased with the freshness, quality and flavor. Seems to be consistent with the tasting notes described. Would be happy to buy again.

Very pleased! Product had all of the info necessary for home roasters, bean grading, acidity, growing region, altitude and tasting notes. Very fast service and came with company info. Pan roasted the beans and resulted in a nice smooth cup of coffee. Will buy again.

I haven't left a coffee review in years, but since the folks at bahati asked me to, I will. This is a very fine, high quality coffee and would easily get an 84, 85, 86 cupping. At issue here is the same issue most Kenyas have been suffering from for the past 7-8 years or so as well as the Brazils, the Colombians and most standard Sumatras. But this is specific to the Kenyas. 'Experts' come in and give advice for higher yields, improved disease resistance methods, low water growing methods, lower clean water processing methods, etc. Then the cuppers show up and grade the coffees. The whole of the process is a dulling of what made the Kenya beans so desirable to the coffee discerning public in the first place. (Note to cuppers: coffee drinkers swallow their coffee as opposed to spitting it out and relying on after-linger.) The classic, available everywhere Kenya profile would be: a bright citrus note, maybe even a slight bitter note with a full body and dark cherry or blackberry, a winey back note and a lingering, soft chocolate finish. It's been increasingly harder to find the past few years. In these past years the increasing practice of growing Timor side by side with the SLs is most likely responsible for some of the dulling, and most likely lead to the current 'caramel Kenya' so common these days. I like a caramel profile but I can get it in many coffees like Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico and even Costa Rica. This particular Kenya (possibly Nyeri ?) is very good. It lacks on the citrus note and heads straight into the very heavy body caramel with the faintest hint of wine and only the suggestion of a chocolate note. Don't misunderstand me, it is very good on it's own, very good, indeed. It's just not the Kenya I remember. I just finished a 10 lb bag of Single origin Kenya last week and it was pretty close, only lacking the chocolatey finish, but still it wasn't the Kenya I remember.

I have enjoyed the coffee and the service each time I buy coffee. They send the beans super quick and the price as far as I am concerned is very reasonable. The quality of the beans have been excellent and roasting them I get a high quality dark roast that has execellent flavor. couldn't be happier.

This Coffee is really Amazing! The taste is as described!

The coffee is fine, but the packaging is terrible. Flimsy cellophane bag split in shipping and I ended up with a box of beans… bummer.

I like it
