The Equator passes directly through this East African jewel, thanks to which its climate is extremely balanced, with little difference between the different seasons in Kenya. Compared to neighboring Ethiopia, coffee cultivation is relatively new in the country, coffee appeared in Kenya only in 1893, thanks to missionaries, and then coffee cultivation flourished during the British rule, under very strict and degrading conditions for local residents. For a long time, the workers in the fields did not even know what treasure they were working with, as the best coffee in the country was exported and only the lowest quality coffee was sold locally. Today, coffee farming is the third largest contributor to Kenya's GDP, the total area of ​​coffee growing land is estimated at 160,000 hectares. Most of the land is used by small producers who work in cooperatives, and the coffee produced is sold at auctions.
