    Tim's notes:

    Makena 20 hectare coffee farm run by Japheth Njue Mwara and his son John Mwara. I visited this farm a few years ago and finally we were able to buy some coffees from this estate.


    The farm was one of the first «larger»estates in Kirinyaga and was established in the 1950’s. Therefore it is mainly planted with SL34 and SL28 cultivars as the Ruiru and Batian were released long after the farm was established. However, there is for sure some Ruiru 11 and Batian also in the mix, but still the flavour of the coffee reminds me more of the «old school» Kenyan coffees with pronounced blackberry and blackcurrant flavours that is so common for the SL cultivars from this origin.
