This natural-processed, single varietal (SL-34) lot is from Doondu Estate, a 238ha coffee farm in Kiambu county. First established by British colonists, it is now one of 6 estates owned and operated by Sasini, a publicly listed company with a majority Kenyan ownership. The estate is the largest of the group.
Sasini’s estates have long placed an emphasis on equity and community. In the case of the estates’ workers, this involves the provision of living quarters, early child education, union membership, and guaranteed payment above minimum wage. In collaboration with Covoya and our customers, they have also been able to invest further in the local primary school Njenga Karume. This has principally been through the building of a new computer lab to equip students with the IT skillset to maximize their opportunities in an increasingly digital world.
