Kenya Kamavindi Gesha

Kamavindi Estate is a third-generation family farm in Embu County, situated at 1,680 meters on the southeastern slopes of Mount Kenya. This exceptionally rare Gesha microlot comes from a small planting on the estate and reflects both the variety’s delicate character and the clarity, structure, and vibrant acidity associated with high-elevation Kenyan coffee. Our relationship with Kamavindi began years ago through Peter Mbature, whose work has since helped deepen our access to distinctive coffees across Kenya.

Grown at 1680 masl, this lot features the Gesha varietal, which is globally prized for its distinct floral aromatics and tea-like clarity. While Kenya · Embu County is traditionally recognized for its vibrant, acidic profiles, this specific offering utilizes a dry washed processing method, a technique that can influence the final cup’s body and sweetness.
