Our Coffee

In Africa, our Coffee history is rich and dates back to the early 19th Century. This has enabled us to have the best capacity and requisite required in coffee farming, processing and marketing.
Kenya in Particular has earned good reputation of producing the finest Arabica coffee in the world. We are privileged to have our Arabica coffee beans blended with other coffees in the world to give such coffee the original coffee aroma and flavor.

Kenya has been endowed by nature to have very conducive climate year round that has made it ideal for coffee farming. Rainfall is well distributed throughout the year where coffee is grown with an annual precipitation of not less than 1000 MM. Uniqueness about our Arabica coffee beans is that it is grown in rich volcanic soils found in the Kenyan Highlands between 1400 to 2000 meters above the sea level. The soil is deep and well – drained.

The total area under coffee is estimated at 160,000 hectares, about one third of which is the plantation sector and the rests under small holder sector with an estimated 700,000 growers. The total annual production has been fluctuating widely due to climate as well as socio-economic factors.  At the moment, production stands at about one million bags per year.

There are two distinct flowerings in each year, shortly after the beginning of the rains in March/April or October.  There are two district flowerings in each year, shortly after the beginning of the rains in March/April or October.  In most districts the main crop ripens from October to December.  The early crop often starts in May-July.

Kenya coffee farming is done by two categories of farmers. Large scale farmers account for about 45 percent of the total coffee production in the country while the rest 55 percent is grown by small – scale farmers distributed across the country. To ensure production of quality coffee beans and processing, small scale coffee farmers have come together to form cooperative societies to enable them to share knowledge and to increase their efficiency and effectiveness in the management of their coffee beans.

Coffee production goes through a systematic protocol from seed to cup from nursery, farm, pulping, milling and grading.  Attention to detail guarantees that the consumer only gets the best of our Kenya Coffee. Kenyan Arabica coffee beans are rated the best world – over because of their unique characteristics of having a well – balanced taste and color and plenty of palate acidity, good body and smooth sweet lemony.
