Nyeri Hill Estate is owned and managed by the catholic archdiocese of Nyeri. In 1914 the Consolata missionaries introduced the first coffee bushes. Today, the coffee farms has evolved to 825 acres of land. The coffee is shade grown using indigenous trees.
Processing at Nyeri Hill Estate adheres to stringent quality-driven method. After the red ripe cherry is delivered to the processing area, it undergoes meticulous sorting to ensure exceptional cup quality of their coffee.
Once pulped, cherries are delivered to fermentation tanks where it will ferment for about 16-24 hours depending on the ambient temperature. The coffee is then fully washed to remove traces of all mucilage in gradient water channels.
The coffee will then be distributed on the raised drying sunbeds where it will dry slowly over the course of around 12-20 days and is covered during the hottest time of the day using shade nets.
The dried coffee is then transported to NKPCU Sagana mills in Sagana, Kirinyaga where it is milled and graded to different grades.
The wealth coming from the estate is shared throughout the community through investments in hospitals, schools as well as employment during harvest time. Approximately 500 temporary workers join the existing 150 permanent employees that manage this large estate.
