Karatu AA beans belong to the highest category of Kenyan coffees (AA), meaning they are larger, more uniform, and fuller in flavor. This coffee undergoes a washed (wet) processing method, which further enhances its clarity and bright, lively acidity.
Karatu AA offers a rich and complex flavor profile, featuring notes of blackcurrant, citrus fruits, sweet floral honey, and a subtle chocolate finish. Its vibrant acidity, silky body, and long-lasting aftertaste make it a perfect choice for those who enjoy light and aromatic coffees.
TasteAtlas food rankings are based on the ratings of the TasteAtlas audience, with a series of mechanisms that recognize real users and that ignore bot, nationalist or local patriotic ratings, and give additional value to the ratings of users that the system recognizes as knowledgeable. TasteAtlas Rankings should not be seen as the final global conclusion about food. Their purpose is to promote excellent local foods, instill pride in traditional dishes, and arouse curiosity about dishes you haven’t tried.
