Farm and Station Story
Chania Bridge Estate is located in the Thika area of Kiambu County. The farm was founded in 1926 by the Harries family and is now managed by Boyce Harries, the great-grandson of the founder. Its name refers to the nearby bridge over the Chania River, a tributary of the Athi River, one of Kenya’s longest rivers flowing into the Indian Ocean.
The estate covers 73 hectares of fertile red volcanic soil and lies at an altitude of 1,550 m a.s.l., ensuring slower cherry maturation, denser beans, and a more complex flavor profile. Chania Bridge focuses on handpicking only fully ripe cherries and uses irrigation during dry periods.
How the coffee is processed
All processing takes place directly at the farm’s wet mill. Cherries are hand-sorted, depulped, and fermented for approximately 14 hours, depending on temperature. The coffee is then thoroughly washed using cascading water channels and dried on raised beds for 12–20 days. Shade nets are used during the hottest hours to preserve delicate flavor notes. Once the optimal moisture level is reached, the coffee is transported to Kofinaf Mills in Ruiru for hulling and grading, and then stored in Nairobi.
Variety
This lot consists of 80% French Mission Bourbon, known for its balanced sweetness and cup quality, and 20% of a mix of K7, Ruiru 11, SL28, and SL34, which adds flavor complexity and contributes disease resistance.

Why Uganda Matters
Zebigi isn’t just another specialty coffee. It’s part of a bigger story that we’ve poured a piece of ourselves into. A year ago, we had the chance to be right there in Uganda – to meet the farmers who grow the coffee, to see the process from harvest to drying. And that’s when we realized we wanted to do even more.
Together with The Coffee Gardens, we co-financed the opening of a QC Lab in Uganda. This quality control laboratory enables farmers to evaluate their harvest directly on site, refine their practices, and, as a result, achieve fairer prices.
Every cup of Zebigi is not only about flavor, but also about the future. About giving farmers the tools and knowledge that open doors to better conditions and stability. And that’s exactly why we love returning to Uganda.🤎
