New coffee drop! Our Nyeri Hill Kenya is back for the fourth year running and for good reason. This year’s lot is super berry forward. Our cupping notes said things like: all the berries, sweet berries, blackberry, cranberry, raspberry, strawberry, mixed berries…You get the drift. This lovely coffee demonstrates all that we love about a classic berry-forward Kenya. (Our cupping notes said things like gorgeous, elegant, nice with three exclamation points, and an all capital YUM!) Along with all those berries, we tasted red currant, vanilla, and white florals. If you love a really elegant Kenyan coffee, you do not want to miss our new lot of Nyeri Hill.
About. One of the first coffee farms established in eastern Africa, Nyeri Hill Estate planted its first coffee seedling in 1914. Located two kilometers northwest of the town of Nyeri, along the Nyeri-Ihururu road, this expansive estate stretches along the slopes of the region’s central highlands. Here, management focuses on cultivating coffees that shine while also prioritizing the community’s long-term sustainability, both from environmental and social perspectives. The organization allocates part of its profits to academic development (with Nyeri High School), professional growth (with Kamwenja Teachers College) and community healthcare (with Mathari Mission Hospital). Along with these social commitments, the leaders at Nyeri Hill focus on reforestation on 250 hectares of the estate, preservation of natural vegetation to encourage biodiversity, and soil retention through solutions like Bermuda Grass cultivation. By approaching their role in the coffee industry holistically, Nyeri Hill Estate strikes a key balance between producing high-quality coffees and providing a high quality of life for their employees and partners.
Unparalleled quality, a human story, and sustainability – that’s our coffee philosophy.
