This PB lot exemplifies the cup quality that Kenya's Murang’a region has to offer. Farms sit at altitudes of 1,650 to 1,700 meters above sea level along the western slopes of the Aberdare Mountain range. The climate and geography in this area are well-suited for coffee production. The county boasts the fertile red volcanic soil and cool temperatures that coffee loves and for which this growing region is known. Farmers typically manage small plots with around 200 trees, focusing on quality and sustainability. Their collective efforts help maintain Murang’a’s status as one of Kenya’s most celebrated coffee-growing areas.
