Kenya Mara Estate 
 
We would like to introduce you to the unconventional Kenya Narok. Sourced from the young Mara Estate in Western Kenya, these beans are born of a wide savannah full of sun next door to Kenya’s most famous big game reserve and safari. Founded in 2019, Mara is one of many coffee growers in Kenya post- independence working to put the lesser-known regions on the map as they employ surrounding families.
 
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.
