About this coffee

This coffee was grown in Trans Nzoia County on the slopes of Mount Elgonna in Western Kenya. Livestock breeding, cattle breeding and corn production have long been widespread in this territory. However, more and more locals, especially the younger generation have recently started to produce coffee. This is facilitated by volcanic soils, and a mild climate with temperatures up to 28 degrees Celsius and sufficient rainfall throughout the year. The coffee grown here has medium acidity, medium body and bright floral tones. The crops are harvested annually: from March to July and from October to the beginning of January.

Wanrich Coffee – is a family company founded in 2015. In the first years, the coffee trees on the family plantation of Jane Kamau's husband did not bear fruit well. Still, at one of the local agricultural exhibitions, the woman met representatives of the Coffee Research Institute and enlisted their support for further development. Jane began getting help from the Coffee Research Institute on the most effective varieties to plant, following a tree care calendar and learning more about the market. Later, she also completed a coffee export course and in 6 years, increased the harvest on the farm by 50 times! Jane is currently on the board of NORT, a women's group working to create a central processing station for farmers in the region.
