How it sits among coffee from Kenya

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Kenya: 509 of 1,189 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Five Elephant describe this coffee as fruity, citrus. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Kenya; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Kenya, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
