This is a huge coffee, it has a bright acidity about it, it is bold with notes of blackcurrant and grapefruit which then turns smooth, creamy almost caramel like in your mouth.
This estate has the reputation of supplying some of Africa’s finest coffees. The farm itself may be over 80 years old. General management is the responsibility of Group Manager, Mr. Harries, a second Manager, Mr. Ngungute, and his assistant, Mr. Gitonga.
The farm is located in the foothills of the Aberdare Ranges overlooking the Chania River some 40km north of Nairobi, 120km south of Mount Kenya and a few km north of the industrial town of Thika. It comprises around 1000 acres and the coffee is planted on approximately 360 hectares at the altitude of 1,800m.
