SL4
Vue d'ensemble
SL4 is a compact selection from the Scott Agricultural Laboratories research programme in Kenya, overshadowed by the far more renowned SL28 and SL34 but offering practical advantages in smaller growing spaces. It yields moderately at good quality between about 1,200 and 1,800 metres, producing a clean, mild cup with balanced acidity and a light body. As a Scott Laboratory Arabica it is susceptible to coffee leaf rust and coffee berry disease, and published data specific to the selection is limited; its compact growth confers no documented resistance advantage. SL4 serves as a workable alternative within Kenyan cultivation, a lesser-known member of the SL programme that filled particular planting needs without ever achieving the acclaim of its celebrated siblings.
