Coffee plays a significant role in Kenyan culture, often consumed during ceremonies and social gatherings.

Kenya's Characteristics

Kenya holds some of the greatest growing conditions with its ideal high-altitude regions on the slopes of Mount Kenya and in the country’s central and western regions. Moderate temperatures and ample rainfall are perfect conditions for growing Arabica coffee. The coffee is grown in well-drained, fertile soil and is harvested between October and December.

With these ideal conditions a wide range of coffee varietals include SL28, SL34, and Ruiru 11, each contributing very distinct flavor profiles.

Central Kenya

Central Kenya produces roughly 60% of the country’s coffee, with key growing zones including Nyeri, Kiambu, Kirinyaga, Murang’a, and Thika. Thanks to its rich volcanic soil and ideal climate, this region is known for some of Kenya’s highest-quality Arabica beans.

Eastern Kenya

This area covers counties like Meru Central, Embu, Machakos, Tharaka-Nithi, and Makueni. Its landscapes range from high mountain moorlands to drier semi-arid zones, allowing for a wide mix of agricultural production.

High Plateaus around Mount Kenya

The elevated lands surrounding Mount Kenya, along with the Aberdare Range, offer prime conditions for cultivating coffee, contributing significantly to the region’s output.
