Farm and Station Story


Nyeri County is one of the most renowned coffee-growing regions in Kenya. Nestled between the majestic Mt Kenya and the Aberdare mountain range, the region benefits from rich red volcanic soil, abundant rainfall, and stable temperatures, creating ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality Arabica coffee.
Farmers in Nyeri follow organic practices, handpicking only fully ripe cherries. Kenya has two main harvests: the “fly crop” (June–August) and the main harvest (October–March), with the latter coming mainly from higher-altitude farms.

How is the coffee processed?


After harvesting, the freshly picked cherries are delivered to the Gichathaini Factory, where they are depulped and then fermented in water tanks fed by the nearby Ragati River. The station places great emphasis on careful water management and works exclusively with smallholder farmers cultivating plots of 1 hectare or less.
Following fermentation, the coffee is dried on raised beds under the African sun. It is then hulled at the environmentally conscious Highlands Coffee Company, before being carefully bagged and prepared for export.

Varietal


This coffee comes from Kenya’s celebrated SL28 and SL34 varieties, known for their exceptional quality, vibrant fruit notes, and bright acidity. Thanks to the high altitude of Nyeri and the washed process, the coffee develops a clean, clear, and complex flavor profile.
