Rob says: Although a legendary coffee, the DOCHA is new at Caffenation.
Docha Estate is located so close to Nairobi that it’s quite impressive that Danson and his 3 brothers are still farming here. Many farms throughout the region have been given over to land or infrastructure developments. We are delighted to help the brothers continue to make farming a profitable and worthwhile business and to offer you this deliciously complex Kenyan coffee.
Docha is categorized as a ‘small estate’ in Kenya. This sector has, until recently, been frequently overlooked. To cater to single producer lots that are very small, Kahawa Bora/Sucafina has a separate microlot milling line that was custom-made to hull (remove the parchment from the green coffee beans) lots as small as one bag at a time. This line makes it possible for growers to maintain their own ‘brand’ when selling their coffee.
