The Kent variety and its character

Kent is a classic Tanzanian Arabica variety, known for its large, dense beans and distinctive profile. In the Karatu region, at 1,600-1,800 m a.s.l., it develops its full aroma thanks to cool nights and slow ripening of the fruit. It is a variety that produces clean, juicy and elegantly fruity coffees.
