About this coffee :
Kenya is often used as a catch-all for any coffees grown west of Nairobi. There is a vast diversity of terrain however, in Kenya’s western counties. This particular lot, from Narok county in Kenya’s extreme southwest, is produced on a high-elevation plateau only a few kilometers from the Masai Mara, Kenya’s most famous big game preserve and safari destination. Narok county runs along Kenya’s southern border with Tanzania, whereupon the Masai Mara turns into the enormous Serengeti National Park.
Mara Estate is very young, established only in 2019. The farm is planted entirely with Batian, a government-developed cultivar bred for a combination of disease resistance and quality that, while widespread, is rarely grown on its own. Mara is a large estate, with minimal shade, planted near the town of Lolgorien, and harvest during Kenya’s fly crop months of May, June, and July. So far, the farm is processing almost entirely naturals, which are barrel-fermented for 4 days prior to drying on raised beds, to allow the fruit to sweeten and partially ferment before drying. Like we said, different from conventional Kenyas in almost every way.
As a Batian variety—government developed for quality and disease resistance—Kenya Narok offers unexpected and delightful flavors. Additionally, Mara uses a four-day barrel-fermenting process to allow the fruit to sweeten, creating its fruity, creamy flavor. After the partial fermentation, the beans are laid out to dry on raised beds.
