In kiambu, kenya, coffee is more than a crop – it’s a heritage. here, farmers nurture each cherry by hand, drying them on raised beds beneath the mountain sun. the result is a coffee bursting with clarity and balance, shaped by generations of craft.

Meanwhile, in ethiopia’s kochere woreda, the jabanto group – a collective of smallholder farmers – carefully sort, ferment, and dry their harvest with a devotion that shines through in every cup. their work reflects a deep respect for land, community, and the pursuit of quality. this holiday blend brings their stories together – a shared celebration of craft, connection, and care from two of africa’s most renowned coffee regions.
