Grown in volcanic loamy soils rich with iron, this high grown fully washed coffee is everything a Kenya AA should be; big and juicy upfront with a clean finish.
This single varietal SL28 lot from Doondu Estate is anaerobicly fermented and then dried on traditional raised beds. Doondu is a 238ha coffee farm first established by British colonists, but is now one of 6 estates owned and operated by Sasini, a publicly listed company with a majority Kenyan ownership. The estate is the largest of the group.
Sasini’s estates have long placed an emphasis on equality and community. In the case of the estates’ workers this involves the provision of living quarters, early child education, union membership and guaranteed payment above minimum wage. They have also been able to invest further in the local primary school Njenga Karume. This has principally been through the building of a new computer lab to equip students with the IT skillset to maximise their oppotunities in an increasingly digital world.
