Starbucks Kenya

Kenya Coffee from Starbucks

Starbucks Kenya is labeled by the company as a bold coffee. It is bold, but it is some of the smoothest dark roast coffee that you will ever taste.



When you look at the beans, they remind you of a good, rich, milk chocolate. The beans have a light sheen from the oil that is in them. The aroma of the beans has great depth, letting you know in advance, what to expect from this starbucks offering.



I brewed this coffee as an Americano, and in my drip coffee maker as well. In each case, the coffee is very satisfying.

The first taste of the coffee has a slight earthy quality, and the flavor of it fills your mouth with a slightly bitter, yet pleasant taste. The flavor of Kenya lingers upon the tongue for around 5 or 6 seconds. This is when the pleasant bitter taste can be sensed. As the coffee cools to near room temperature, it does not become more bitter. This is the sign of an excellent roast that is sure to please almost all coffee drinkers.

When it is sweetened, it tastes more like a dessert than a coffee. It could be served after a meal as a dessert, or with some milk chocolate or apple pie as a really great accompaniment to either dessert item. I would also say that this would be a good coffee for serving with a breakfast or dinner meal. It is an excellent all-around coffee that will not disappoint.

I hope this review helps you in your search for the perfect cup. As always, may your next cup be your best!
