Kenya Tai Agric Estate

Tai Agri Farm represents a generational shift from mixed-use agriculture into specialty coffee. Originally founded in 1990 as a dairy and crop farm, the family adapted to changing markets and climate by trialing highland crops before committing to coffee. Despite setbacks—such as drought that wiped out 35% of their seedlings—the family invested in solar-powered irrigation and organic composting to sustain the farm. Today, they manage shade-grown coffee intercropped with beekeeping, which both supports pollination and raises yields by up to 30%. 

This washed coffee is grown at 1800 MASL. The Batian and Riuru varietals sing in the cup. Plum, grapefruit, milk chocolate. All the best notes you want from a Kenyan.
