About the producers This coffee comes from the heart of Solai, 120 miles northwest of Nairobi, where the Stephen and Margaret Kuria, and their sons, have spent decades nurturing their coffee trees. What began as a quarter-acre plot in 1984 has flourished into a small estate of meticulously tended coffee, thus earning the Kurias an exporter’s license, after 40 years of farming. Having their own license allows them to bypass Kenya’s centralized auction and negotiate fairer prices through direct trade. The Kurias are deeply rooted in their community and are reinvesting in Solai. In 2024, they contributed computers and school supplies for elementary-level students at Solai Nyakinyua Primary. This lot features Kenyan Peaberry, a developmental rarity where a single, rounded bean forms inside the cherry instead of two halves. Denser and prized for its vibrant intensity, peaberry makes up just 5% of Kenya’s harvest—offering a cup that reflects Liwani’s rich terroir, the Kurias’ decades of dedication, and the bright, complex character that makes Kenyan coffee world-renowned.

We release a small number of traceable small and micro-lots each season, and every one of them comes from a specific cooperative or estate. We rotate our coffee list to showcase the range in Kenya's coffees. We can tell you who grew it, where, and how it was processed, like this Peaberry from Stephen and Margaret Kuria, along with their family.
