Kenyan coffee enjoys a celebrated reputation for its bold and distinctive flavor. La Minita cups hundreds of samples each year and selects only the most intense and sophisticated top auction lots. We have a special fondness for brilliant Kenya coffees with their wine-like acidity and ripe fruit flavors. This selection is from the Kigutha Estate, coffee was introduced on this farm in 1919. The estate is over 99 ha large and produces over 1,000 MT of cherries annually. The Estate has its own wet mill on site and utilizes irrigation to supplement the rain.
