A Surprising Discovery: Kenyan Natural Process Coffee

"What! Kenya actually has natural process coffee beans?" This was many people's first reaction when FrontStreet Coffee introduced this coffee. The Kenyan coffee beans we typically see are mostly processed using the 72-hour fermentation washed method, which has created the misconception that "Kenyan coffee beans only undergo washed processing."

Endebess Estate

The estate is located in the northern part of Kenya's Rift Valley, near the town of Kitale in Nzoiya County. Endebess Estate covers approximately 758 hectares of land, with 248 hectares dedicated to coffee cultivation.

Within the Rift Valley lie the Cherang'any Hills and a series of volcanoes, some of which remain active. The Cherang'any Hills are one of Kenya's five major forest and watershed areas, spanning three counties: Trans Nzoia, Elgeyo Marakworld, and West Pokot. Endebess Estate is situated at the foot of Mount Elgon, an extinct volcano on the border between Uganda and Kenya. The rich volcanic soil and abundant water sources naturally create ideal conditions for coffee tree growth.
