When you exist to seek the best, the distance you’re prepared to go to source the earth’s best coffee knows no bounds. This spirit of adventure takes us to unforgettable places where we discover incredible coffee.
In the shadow of mighty Mt. Kenya in the Nyeri region, we met the tenacious coffee farmers from the surrounds of Karatina town. The rich volcanic soil of the mountain’s misty slopes helps produce a coffee that delivers exceptional flavour.
We source our coffee from the farmers of the Ruthagati Cooperative and pay them directly, ensuring a fair trade that keeps their business sustainable and ours meaningful.
This single origin coffee has a berry aroma alive with vibrant acidity and a fruity caramel flavour. This specialty coffee is optimally roasted in South Africa to deliver a taste as rich as the continent it comes from.
