Arabica Coffee Variety – SL34

SL34 is an artificial hybrid variety derived from Bourbon in Kenya and Tanzania, developed alongside SL28. Both are well-known for their excellent flavor profiles. While Bourbon has a higher yield compared to Typica, it still has a two-year harvesting cycle, making it a relatively low-yield variety. SL28 and SL34 are iconic Kenyan coffee varieties developed and named by Scott Laboratories (SL) in the 1930s. SL28 carries the lineage of Bourbon, Mokka, and Typica. The original goal of developing SL28 was to produce a high-quality coffee variety that could resist pests and diseases. Although SL28's yield was not as abundant as anticipated, it gained recognition for its excellent sweetness, balance, and complex flavors, with distinctive notes of citrus and dried plum.

Justin Coffee carefully selects various Arabica subspecies, including: Geisha/Gesha, Pacamara, Heirloom, Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, Pacas, SL28, SL34, Tim Tim, Catuai, and other world-renowned specialty coffees. We print the bean variety information on the packaging bags, allowing you to understand the flavor of the bean you are tasting while enjoying your coffee. Although the flavor will vary depending on many factors, at least we can get a glimpse of the vast world of bean varieties.
