Acerca de

SL28 was selected in the 1930s at Scott Agricultural Laboratories in Kenya from a drought-resistant Tanganyika cultivar. It has become synonymous with the best Kenyan coffee, producing intensely complex cups with bold blackcurrant and citrus fruit acidity, full body, and a winey finish. Despite high susceptibility to coffee berry disease and leaf rust, SL28 remains widely planted in Kenya for its unmatched cup quality.
