The guide delves into why Kenya Coffee is a top African Coffee and is one of the best coffees in the world today. We endeavor to answer your questions in every possible way.
Beginning of my Coffee story
I grew up on a farm in Karatina – Nyeri around the Mount Kenya highlands. And while Kenya is predominantly a tea drinking nation, I got to choose coffee over tea in my adult life as my hot beverage of choice.
I started life just like any other rural kid growing up in the Mt. Kenya highlands. But there was something distinctive about my life … I grew up in a rich agricultural area.
We had kale on the farm, green bananas, sweet potatoes, arrowroots, and yams, among the seasonal crops like maize (corn), beans, peas, Irish potatoes and others.
And then there was Kenyan Coffee! Arabica coffee to be precise. This cash crop played a huge economic role in the lives of people in this area.
I worked in the coffee farm from an early age. We tended to coffee trees and picked ripe coffee berries (cherries/fruits), as well as delivering the produce to the processing factory.
Grandma Peris …
I still remember how grandma Peris traditionally roasted and grinded coffee.
The aroma from the traditional coffee roast and grind process was something that has stayed with me over the years.
Coffee drinking was a great experience then although our main hot beverage still remained to be Kenyan tea.
I would love to hear your coffee story
