Machakos Coffee refers to coffee produced in the Machakos County in Kenya. Kenya is known for producing high-quality Arabica coffee, and Machakos is one of the regions within the country that cultivates coffee.
Coffee farming in Machakos involves the cultivation of Arabica coffee beans, which are grown at high altitudes, usually between 1,400 to 2,000 meters above sea level. The region’s favorable climate, fertile soil, and ideal elevation contribute to the production of coffee with distinctive flavors and characteristics.
Kenyan coffee, including coffee from Machakos, is highly regarded in the specialty coffee industry for its vibrant acidity, fruity and floral flavors, and complex profiles. It often exhibits notes of blackcurrant, red berries, citrus, and sometimes wine-like characteristics.
Machakos Coffee, like other Kenyan coffees, is typically processed using the washed method, where the coffee cherries are pulped and fermented before being dried. This processing method helps to highlight the coffee’s inherent flavors and acidity.
