K7
About
K7 is one of the early selections made at Kenya's Coffee Research Station, valued for its partial resistance to coffee berry disease. It performs best at lower altitudes where SL28 and SL34 struggle with disease pressure. K7 produces a clean, mild cup with moderate acidity and a smooth, balanced profile, making it suitable for commercial production at medium elevations.
Disease Resistance
Partial resistance to coffee berry disease — the primary selection criterion at Kenya's Coffee Research Station. Susceptible to coffee leaf rust. Recommended for lower-altitude Kenyan regions where berry disease pressure is high.
