According to SL Laboratory botanists, SL28 and SL34 are genetic variants. Among them, SL28 has a mixed lineage of French missionaries, mocha and Yemeni tibica. SL28 was bred to produce high quality, pest resistant coffee beans in large quantities.
Although SL28 did not yield as much as expected, the copper-leaf color and bean-like beans had great sweetness, balance and complexity, with notable citrus and dark plum characters. SL34 and SL28 taste similar, except for complex acid, and a good sweet finish, the taste is heavier, richer and cleaner than SL28. SL34 has French missionary, bourbon, and more Tibica pedigree. The beans are similar in appearance to SL28, but are better able to adapt to sudden heavy rain. It is these two important varieties that lead us to recognize the unique Kenyan style: intense and rich fruit acids, rich taste and beautiful balance.
