Why Coffee Plus 254 Exists
In some circles, Kenyan coffee is renowned for known for their bright flavors and rich complexity.
Too often, it gets reduced to one region or just labeled "Kenyan coffee", naming the country and not much else.
Kenya has actually produced coffee since the late 1800s. Over generations, coffee growing has developed to mostly smallholder farms, in different regions across the country, with evolving processing methods and different tastes.
We've never been one 'taste' and we want to show you that.
Every Coffee Linked to its Producers
We release a small number of traceable micro-lots each season, and every one of them comes from a specific cooperative or estate, not a blend sold under "Kenya" as a category.
We rotate our coffee list to showcase that range. We can tell you who grew it, where, and how it was processed.
Some of the relationships behind our lots so far:
- Chepsangor Hills Estate and Chepsangor Women in Coffee, in Nandi Hills founded by Dr. Rosebella Langat
- Lion Hills in Tinderet, Nandi County, grown by Edward Barngentuny.
- Stephen and Margaret Kuria, and family, in Solai, Kenya.
