Kenya Kiandu Sold Out

Kenya Kiandu is completely sold out. Keep checking back for the newest coffees sourced on our most recent trip to Africa. In the meantime, please click on the "Buy" tab to see our current list of offerings.

Simply one of the best Kenya coffees available anywhere. Kenya Kiandu has HUGE fruit flavor: ripe peach and raspberry, ultra-juicy. This coffee is a rare find, the collaboration of over 1,100 farmers from five different villages who sell their coffee to the renowned Kiandu Mill. There, painstaking hand labor and careful drying on raised beds yields spectacular quality year after year. We secured a small lot — just 7.5 bags — and it's all we can do not to drink it up ourselves. Get it while it lasts!
