What is score?

  • The SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) is the global body that sets the standards for specialty coffee. Their scoring system, based on a 100-point scale, evaluates coffees based on various factors like aroma, flavour, acidity, body, aftertaste, sweetness and balance. Coffees scoring 80+ are considered specialty grade, with those scoring 86+ representing the top tier of quality and complexity.

What is single origin?

  • Single origin means the coffee comes from one specific region, farm, or cooperative, rather than a blend from multiple places. This allows you to experience the unique characteristics of that area’s climate, soil, and processing methods.

What are tasting notes?

  • Tasting notes describe the natural flavours found in the coffee, such as chocolate, citrus, or floral tones. These are not added flavours but arise from the bean’s variety, growing conditions, and roasting process.

What is the processing method?

  • This refers to how coffee beans are removed from the cherry after harvesting, which influences their final taste.

Eaagads Estate

Eaagads Estate has a long and fascinating history. Located in Kiambu County, an area known for housing some of Kenya's earliest coffee farms, the estate was originally established by Catholic Missionaries and later held by colonial settlers.

Its story takes a unique turn in the 1950s when the farm was split into three separate properties, all bordered by the Chania River. Over time, the middle farm was converted out of coffee production, leaving Eaagads with the strange and distinct feature it has today: its coffee plantations are divided into two separate parts, continuing a legacy of many generations of coffee production on this historic land

Kiambu

Located just outside Nairobi, Kiambu County is a historic coffee-growing region, famous for its large estates and generations of local expertise. While the area has changed with urban sprawl, it continues to be a hub for quality. The region’s iron-rich volcanic soils, high altitudes, and cool highland nights allow the coffee cherries to mature slowly, which is key to developing the bright acidity and deep complexity that makes Kenyan coffee so exceptional.
