Rob says: Across the fertile region of Kirinyaga, over 800 farmers cultivate small coffee farms of approximately 250 to 350 trees. With an altitude of around 1750 meters, warm days and cool nights help nurture sweet, dense coffee cherries, delivering the wonderful character that lets Kenyan coffee stand apart.

While SL (Scott Laboratories) remains iconic in Kenyan coffee lore, the landscape is evolving with new cultivars. Batian, named after Mount Kenya’s peak, is a 2010 introduction by the Kenya Coffee Research Institute. Resistant to both Coffee Berry Disease and Coffee Leaf Rust, it starts fruiting early, promising sustainability and quality. Ruiru 11, another newcomer, boasts disease resistance and high yields, with fruiting commencing in just two years.
