Kenya AA and the Safari Rally: two expressions of African excellence that captivate connoisseurs worldwide. The first is one of the most sought-after specialty coffees, known for its notes of blackcurrant, citrus, and remarkable bright acidity. The second is one of the most legendary rallies, crossing breathtaking wild landscapes. At Carrera Café in Quebec, we celebrate this double excellence in every cup.

Kenya AA: double excellence at the heart of Quebec

The AA classification designates the largest and densest coffee beans produced in Kenya. These beans grow in the rich volcanic soils of the Kenyan central plateau, between 1500 and 2100 meters altitude. Kenyan producer cooperatives practice methodical coffee farming: each cherry is handpicked at perfect ripeness, then processed using the washed method that reveals the full complexity and aromatic clarity of the bean.

In Kenya, Formula 1 has a unique face. Nairobi is a city of car and coffee enthusiasts, two cultures that naturally intersect in the trendy cafés of the capital. This affinity between motorsport and coffee culture is reflected in our approach at Carrera Café.

The Safari Rally and Kenyan coffee: speed and terroir

The Safari Rally Kenya is one of the most selective events in the World Rally Championship. The rough roads, climbs, giant potholes: every kilometer demands absolute precision and flawless equipment management. This is exactly what producing a Kenya AA involves: relentless attention at every stage, from the coffee plant to the cup.

At Carrera Café in Quebec, our Kenya AA is carefully roasted to preserve its unique characteristics. A fruity, lively, and complex coffee that will satisfy the most demanding palates.
