Kenya Keratu

The greatest Kenya coffees have loads of wonderful flavors like black currant, plum, blackberry…the trick is to get all these without excessive acidity. Keratu almost succeeds but imo the Kerala is tops. I love Klatch!

Very good for espresso milk drinks

I got a small bag during a promotion recently to try and found I really love it as an espresso cold milk drink. I have had an espresso machine for 19 years and only drink espresso milk drinks. About 10 years I tried one of the Starbuck's cold bottled drinks and really liked it. After that I stopped steaming milk and since then just make cold espresso milk drinks. Try it you might like it...incidentally my favorite coffee for milk drinks is Klatch Worlds Best Espresso.

Wonderful if you love Kenyan coffees

I love the savoriness and vegetable like flavors in this Kenyan coffee. I personally don't get the fruit flavors that are listed, but it's still a delicious brew!
