VALLEYS OF FLAVOUR
The volcanic black soil of the Great Rift Valley is mineral rich and promotes robust root development for our coffee trees.The high altitude encourages our trees to grow slowly, giving the precious cherries more time to ripen and mature, which is critical to creating Great Rift coffee's complex flavour profiles.Add to that moderate temperatures and reliable patterns of rain, and you've got the perfect conditions for producing coffee with the bold, full-bodied flavors, fruity overtones and well-balanced acidity that make Great Rift coffee unique.
At Great Rift Coffee ethical sourcing, traceability and quality control are vital to our processes, ensuring transparency from farm to export.This enables us to adhere to sustainability standards.Traceability builds trust supports fair trade practices throughout our supply chain.

OurSustainableFarming Techniques
FallingBeans
Shade-Grown CoffeeGrowing coffee under a canopy of shade trees mimics the natural forest environment and provides habitat for birds and other wildlife.
AgroforestryWe integrate coffee cultivation with other crops and indigenous trees to improve soil fertility, reduce erosion, and increase biodiversity on the farm.
Organic FarmingOrganic coffee farming avoids the use of synthetic chemicals, and promotes natural pest control and soil health. We use the by-product from our sugar cane farms for weed control and manure from our goat farm as fertiliser
Integrated Pest ManagementEmploying IPM strategies reduces the need for chemical pesticides by focusing on natural predators and managing pests and diseases.
Water ManagementWe've installed efficient irrigation systems and do our level best to minimize water wastage
Biodiversity PreservationWe have created multiple buffer zones and leave natural vegetation on the farm maintaining a diverse ecosystem. Specifically, we have multiple bee hives throughout the farm.
