TL;DR: From Bob, to you, this is a stunning, single estate lot from Kenya, showcasing that “classic” Kenyan profile of delicious flavour, acidity, and richness.

Look, this is a first time buy for us, Bob and his family have done an exceptional job producing some of the best coffee we've tasted from Kenya this year so far.

Because it's our first time, we don't have the usual level of detail, but now we've got the time to get to know Bob and his family, because we will be sharing this delicious coffee for as many years as we can!

Bnivaans Estate is a 17-hectare farm in the Kiambu region. The farm is managed by a single producer named Bob alongside his family. They grow Batian, Ruiru 11, and SL28 varieties.

Kiambu is the highest-producing region in Kenya due to its high rainfall and cooler temperatures in the highlands, and its history of coffee and tea trade. The region is 40% rural and 60% urban, with a mixture of smallholder producers and larger plantations. The region is divided into four topographical zones containing three soil types. Most of the coffee production is in the uplands which are rich in red volcanic soils. This area is famous for providing the world with the distinctive cup profile of acidic, grapefruit-tasting coffee.
