Zahabu is a mixture of different mill lots, carefully selected to fit the taste profile we are seeking.
In this sense, Zahabu is not a place or a mill, but a standard of quality in terms of the taste profile the coffee should have.
“Zahabu” means “Gold” in Swahili.
All the beans are processed according to the Kenyan method which is double fermentation: the beans are fermented, washed, fermented and washed again for a second time.
This helps bring out the fruity profile of Kenyan coffee, which we all love.
The area is covered in red volcanic soil, which is ideal for the trees.

**terroir= In theory, terroir is an umbrella term that combines all the different factors that influence wine: the impact of the climate, soil, topography, humidity, rainfall, sunshine, soil chemicals but also human intervention on the cultivation of grapes, when this is done in a traditional way which is respectful of the ecosystem.
