Nyeri Hill Estate, one of the pioneering coffee farms in eastern Africa, boasts a rich history dating back to 1914. Spanning 1,415 hectares along the slopes of the central highlands near Nyeri, Kenya, this expansive estate dedicates 344 hectares to coffee cultivation. Harvested by 300 employees, three main varietals - SL28, SL34, and Riuru 11 - flourish here. While SL28 and SL34, derived from single trees in Kenya, offer exceptional cup quality potential but are susceptible to common coffee diseases, Riuru 11, exhibits resistance to coffee leaf rust and coffee berry disease. Nyeri Hill Estate takes pride in its commitment to sustainable practices, investing profits in academic development, professional growth, and community healthcare initiatives. They also prioritize reforestation, biodiversity preservation, and soil retention efforts. By embracing a holistic approach, Nyeri Hill Estate achieves a harmonious balance between producing superb coffees and improving the quality of life for its employees and partners.
