Eaagads Estate is a coffee farm in Thika West, Kiambu County, Kenya—one of the country’s oldest coffee-growing regions. The estate is owned by Eaagads Company Limited, a publicly listed company on the Nairobi Stock Exchange. Originally established in the early 20th century, the farm lies along the Chania River and produces estate-grown Kenyan coffee with a long, well-documented heritage.

Ripe cherries are sorted, depulped, and fermented in water tanks for 12–48 hours to remove mucilage. The coffee is then washed through grading channels, where the densest beans are separated for higher quality. After soaking in clean water, the parchment is sun-dried on raised African beds for 2–3 weeks, with regular turning and covering for protection.

About Kiambu

Kiambu County sits just outside Nairobi and has a long history of coffee farming. Its large estates were first set up by British colonists in the early 1900s and were later sold to local Kenyans after independence.

While rising land values and Nairobi’s urban expansion have reduced estate coffee production, farms like this still carry forward generations of expertise and tradition.

Kiambu is ideal for growing Arabica coffee, with its rich volcanic soils, high altitudes (up to 2,000 masl), and cool nights that help cherries ripen slowly—enhancing acidity and complexity in the cup.
