History of Coffee in Kenya
Coffee was first cultivated in Kenya in 1893 by the Fathers of the Holy Spirit, and the growing Kenya coffee industry developed around these early mission farms. Today, Kenya is well known for its coffee industry, which employs an estimated six-million Kenyans directly or indirectly. The majority of Kenyan coffee beans are grown by small land holders. Kenya's mountainous terrain and acidic soil provide optimal growing conditions, though production has decreased significantly over the past twenty years.
Kenyan AA Coffee
Quality control is taken very seriously by the Kenyan coffee exporters. All Kenya coffee beans are graded after they are milled. Kenya AA coffee beans are the highest grade, denoting the largest sized beans. AA coffee from Kenya fetches the highest prices at the weekly auctions where coffee is traded.
As with all of our gourmet coffee, Martinez & Company carries only top grade Kenya AA coffee, so that you can always be sure that you are buying the best Kenyan coffee available. Our AA coffee from the Miricho Estate in the Central Highlands is noted for its rich, winey flavour and, until recently, was almost exclusively sold to the coffee-loving sheiks of the Arabian Gulf. Now, you too can sample this exquisite AA coffee from Kenya's Miricho Estate.
