Description
Escape the noise of Nairobi and journey into the green highlands of Kiambu, where coffee isn't just a drink, it's a story, a science, and a heritage. On this immersive tour of Fairview Coffee Farm, go beyond the beans and dive deep into the soul of Kenyan coffee. Begin with a warm Kenyan welcome, enjoying a fresh cup of coffee and local sweet bites. Walk through lush fields and learn about seedling propagation, soil care, and cherry selection. Get hands-on if cherries are in season. Witness how cherries transform into beans, from pulping to fermentation and drying on raised beds. In a rustic roasting hut, use a traditional jiko to roast, grind, and bag your coffee under local expert guidance. Sample different roast levels with a certified cupping host and refine your palate. Finally, unwind on a scenic terrace with a snack platter of local fruits, pastries, and fresh juice.Includes
