Description
Your experience begins with hotel pickup in Nairobi and a scenic drive to Fairview Coffee Estate, a family-owned farm set on over 100 acres of lush land. Upon arrival, enjoy a warm welcome before beginning your guided farm tour. Walk through the coffee fields as your guide explains the cultivation process — from planting and harvesting to pulping, drying, roasting, and grading. Learn what makes Kenyan coffee globally recognized for its rich aroma and bright acidity. Visit the processing area to see how coffee beans are handled after harvest and gain insight into the grading system used for export-quality beans. The experience concludes with a professional coffee tasting session, where you’ll sample freshly brewed Kenyan coffee and learn how to identify flavor notes and aromas like an expert.Includes
