Nestled in regions like Meru, Nyeri, Kiambu, and Murang’a, blessed with rich volcanic soil and high altitudes, impart distinct characteristics to the coffee beans. Here, each bean is nurtured by the African sun and cool mountain breezes, resulting in a flavor profile celebrated for its for their bright acidity, fruity undertones, and deep, wine-like flavors. Kenyan coffees stand out on the world stage for their complexity and balance.
