Kenya 'Women in Coffee' PB – Meteitei Set Kobor
Some coffees you simply buy. This one, we visited.
On our origin trip to Kenya we got to know the Meteitei Set Kobor cooperative in Nandi County – and we mean really got to know it: we stayed overnight at the neighbouring Ol'Ochoy farm, helped with the harvest, and had dinner in Mary Korir's living room. Mary chairs the "Women in Coffee" project – and this coffee comes from exactly these women.
The idea behind it is as simple as it is powerful: 50 female farmers, each with a few coffee trees behind her house, process their cherries together at the cooperative's own washing station and market their lot independently. The proceeds stay with the women – in a region where land and income are traditionally a man's business, that's anything but a given. And the young cooperative keeps growing: founded in 2019 with 93 members, it counts more than 300 today.
Inside the bag is the women's peaberry lot: the small, round bean that forms when a coffee cherry develops just one bean instead of two – sorted out by hand, with all the fruit's power concentrated in a single bean. Processing is classic Kenyan: hand-picked, fully washed, and patiently sun-dried on raised beds.
The result is a cup the way we love Kenya: wonderfully clean and juicy, with dark berries – blackcurrant above all – and a sweetness of brown sugar. Add a lively, fine acidity, which our roast profile pairs with a round, full body.
And because good coffee can do more: for every kilo of green coffee, 25 cents go to the NGO Crossroads, which gives young people in Kenya access to education.
Farm visited, dinner at Mary's table, coffee: superb – everything about this one is simply right.
