Bro Coffee Roastery Kenya Nyeri Speciality – blackcurrant from volcanic slopes
Nyeri County lies in central Kenya, between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range. Volcanic soils, high altitude and two rainy seasons a year create conditions that make coffees from this region some of the most recognisable in the world. Bro Coffee Roastery Kenya Nyeri Speciality is grown at 1400-1800 masl and brings together four varieties: SL28, Ruiru, Bourbon and Kent.
The beans undergo washed processing, which in its Kenyan form produces an exceptionally clean and transparent profile. For this coffee, our roaster settled on a medium light (3/5) roast – light enough to preserve the juicy blackcurrant and black tea, yet developed enough to unlock the sweetness of honey and maple syrup. A subtle note of cedar appears on the finish. Acidity and body, both medium, keep everything in balance.
Kenya Nyeri is at its most expressive as a pour-over – in a V60, Chemex or drip brewer. An AeroPress adds extra sweetness, and from an espresso machine you get a crisp shot that tastes best without milk.
Quality confirmed by the SCA score
What is the SCA score? The Specialty Coffee Association is a global authority in the coffee world, setting uncompromising standards. Qualified experts evaluate the beans on a strict 100-point scale during professional tasting sessions. The finest nuances of the brew are analysed: from aroma, through acidity, all the way to sweetness and balance. Exceeding the 80-point threshold is the ultimate proof that the beans are completely free from defects and belong to the absolute global top tier.
At Bro Coffee Roastery, we do not compromise. Every bean that goes into our roaster undergoes rigorous selection. The Kenya Nyeri Speciality coffee has achieved an excellent score of 85 points on the SCA scale, which proudly classifies it within the elite group of speciality quality. For you, this means a guarantee of objectively measured perfection, a flawlessly clean taste and a unique sensory profile that meets strict, artisanal standards.

Craft roasting at BroRoastery.com
We roast our coffee to a medium-light level (3 on a 5-point scale) to highlight natural sweetness and creamy body without losing balance and pleasant nuances. This roast works equally well for espresso and alternative brewing methods.
All our coffees are roasted fresh, in small batches, to reach you in optimal condition. The best flavour qualities develop after a minimum of 7 days from the roast date – following a natural degassing process that stabilises the profile and allows the aroma and balance to fully shine.
The high quality of our beans and the artisanal approach to the roasting process is no coincidence. The commitment to maintaining the highest global standards is confirmed by the fact that our brand's producer is a proud member of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). By choosing Bro Coffee Roastery, you are opting for a product created by true experts and passionate enthusiasts.
Kenya Nyeri is a coffee that turns every cupping into a conversation. First blackcurrant, then tea, finally honey and a touch of cedar – each of us picks up something different. We mostly brew it in a V60, always black.
