Full-bodied and clean, offering bright notes of melon, juicy orange, and tropical passionfruit.
This fully washed, Rainforest Alliance certified coffee comes from Tinganga Estate in Kenya’s Kiambu County. Established during colonial times, the 182-hectare farm is now owned by Sasini, a majority-Kenyan-owned company.
Sasini focuses on equity and community, providing workers with housing, early education, union representation, and fair wages. Together with Olam Specialty and customers, they’ve also supported the local Njenga Karume Primary School—most notably by funding a new computer lab to help students build essential digital skills.
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.
