Our second Kenyan release of the year comes from the Kamundu Estate — just an hour up the road from our previous Kenyan, Eaagads.
Owned by the Sasini Company, Kamundu lies in the Kiambu region of Kenya, just outside Nairobi. This area is steeped in coffee heritage, its roots tracing back to the early 20th century when British settlers first established large estates here. After decolonisation, these farms transitioned to local ownership. While smallholder producers now shape much of Kenya’s coffee landscape, estates like Kamundu and Eaagads continue to uphold a proud legacy, guided by generations of expertise and deep-rooted knowledge.
Kiambu’s fertile volcanic soils, cool climate, and steady rainfall make it an exceptional region for cultivating bright, complex coffees. Steeped in Kikuyu culture, Kiambu’s coffee story is one of tradition, community, and dedication—qualities that have cemented Kenya’s reputation as one of the world’s most celebrated coffee origins.
Sasini’s estates place a strong emphasis on equity and community development, providing housing for workers, early childhood education, and union membership. Through Covoya, our sourcing partner, and Sasini Estates’ initiatives, a new computer lab has recently been built to support local students.
For us, this coffee captures the timeless essence of Kenya: rich and balanced, yet bursting with juicy fruit and a crisp, lime-like citrus acidity.
*Our coffee is freshly roasted each week and orders are dispatched on Tuesday and Thursday for orders received by 12pm the day before.
