Kenya - Chania Estate - Washed or Natural - French Mission
Discover the rich heritage and exceptional quality of Chania Estate Coffee, a gem from one of Kenya's last large-medium scale, family-owned coffee plantations. Located in East Africa, Chania Estate is a legacy built by descendants of pioneering farmers who introduced the esteemed French Mission variety.
Origin: Kenya, Kiambu, Thika
Farm / Farmer: Chania Estate / Boyce Harris
Process: Washed / Natural
Varietal: French Mission
Cup Notes: Bright acidity, big body, and intense, juicy aromas and flavours, including blackcurrant, chocolate, floral, and peachy notes.

Chania Estate uses both wet processing and natural drying methods. Cherries are pulped, fermented, and dried on the farm, with the parchment coffee hulled, polished, graded, and bagged at a dedicated mill. Whether you prefer the clean, crisp notes of washed coffees or the deep, complex flavours of sun-dried naturals, Chania Estate delivers a unique tasting experience, embodying the legacy of Kenya’s coffee pioneers.
