Kiambu county is located just outside of Nairobi city and has a long history of coffee production. The region is famous for large estates originally established by British colonists and now managed by Kenyans. The estates continue a legacy of coffee production with unparalleled local knowledge and experience. Kiambu has all the right conditions for arabica coffee to flourish, including close proximity to the equator, iron-rich semi-volcanic soils, abundant sunshine, and consistently high altitudes up to 2000 MASL. The cool night temperatures in the fertile highlands allow cherries to mature slowly, developing acidity and complexity in the final cup.
