We’re really happy to introduce Kanda, a lovely Kenyan coffee from our friends at Madcap Coffee Co. Kanda is a rarity in so many ways, and it will only be available for a limited time so enjoy it while it lasts.

This coffee takes its name from Kanda Farm where it is produced. Kanda Farm resides in Kirinyaga near Mt. Kenya and is 1650 meters above sea level. This incredibly small, 5-acre farm is owned and operated by Amos Ndatakiri, who manages the entirety of the farm’s operations with his family and only a handful of other employees.

Coffee in Kenya is typically managed through large cooperatives, where numerous small farmers send their coffee to be processed, graded and sold. It’s very rare that a farm the size of Kanda Farm receive a license to process their own coffee, yet Amos and his family were granted such approval in 1992.

This Kanda coffee is comprised exclusively of the famed SL-28 cultivar, a coffee variety world-renown for its outstanding cup quality. Kanda is intensely sweet and vibrant with notes of melon, lemon and fruit punch. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
