Kenya Kiambu - Single Origin

About Fran Farm, Muranga County, and Kenya Coffee

Kiambu lies near the foothills of Gatamayo Forest Reserve, and at the border of neighboring Muranga County. Fram Farm is owned and managed by the Kariruki family. Getting his start in coffee through a small plot he inherited from his grandfather, James who is now 40 years old, has expanded their farm to nearly 30 hectares. The entirety of Fran farm is planted with the prized SL-28 Varietal, and sitting at roughly 1850 meters above sea level it produces outstanding coffee. 

About SL-28 Varietals

 SL28  was selected for its drought resistance as well as its extremely high cup quality. SL28 is one of the most well-known and well-regarded varieties in Africa. It has consequently spread from Kenya to other parts of Africa as well as Central and South America. Both varieties are non-hybrid, and very susceptible to disease.
