Mysore Plantation-A (Kent)
Kent is a natural-hybrid Arabica first discovered in the Doddenguda Estate in the Chikmagalur district of Mysore, and is named after the British owner of the estate at the time. British planters shipped this popular cultivar to several of their colonies, including Kenya and Jamaica. Because Kent is susceptible to leaf rust, many Indian growers uprooted and replaced this coffee. However, small blocks of these heirloom plants, now more than 80 years old, remain in a few estates. This particular lot is from an estate at an elevation of 3,800 feet. These Kent coffees have a light flower fragrance and a clean, refined cup. They are packed in 132-pound bags.
