About This Coffee
The Region
Nandi Hills sits along the edge of the Great Rift Valley at 1,900–2,100 meters, a high-elevation zone traditionally known for tea rather than coffee. Coffee here is still young and many of the estates, including Great Rift, were planted within the last 10–15 years, making Nandi one of Kenya’s most exciting emerging growing regions. The area is home to the Nandi people, whose long farming tradition and community-driven land stewardship shape how coffee is grown today. Rich volcanic soils, cool misty mornings, and abundant sugarcane farms contribute to a naturally sweet and vibrant cup profile. As more producers invest in the region, Nandi Hills is quickly developing a reputation for clean, high-elevation coffees that offer a fresh, modern expression of Kenyan terroir.
The Process
Ripe cherries are hand sorted and floated to separate any immature/underripes. These cherries are then fermented in sealed barrels for 96 hours (4 days), before being dried in the sun for 2-3 weeks.
The drying process is especially meticulous with constant turning of the cherries every 30 mins to ensure even drying, and temperature modulation with shade to ensure a slow and consistent drying process.
