Kenya is one of the birthplaces of mankind, and fossilized human skulls from about 2.5 million years ago have even been unearthed in Kenya. From 1890 to 1963, it was under British colonial rule for about 70 years. At the beginning of the 20th century, French and British missionaries and researchers screened and cultivated coffee trees in Kenya, and successfully bred "SL28" and "SL34", the direct descendants of Bourbon species. For a century, Kenyan coffee has adapted to Kenya's high concentration of phosphate soil, and has given birth to the special sour essence of Kenyan coffee beans, which is different from bourbon beans in other Central and South American countries.

Unlike most of the improved SL28 and SL34 cultivated in Kenya, the French missionary (French Mission) is a native bourbon coffee variety before scientific improvement. In the late 19th century, the French diplomatic corps was introduced to Kenya from the island of Bourbon (now known as Reunion), which retains the flavor of the traditional bourbon variety, which is similar in appearance and flavor to Rwanda bourbon, which is cultivated almost all over the neighborhood.

"French missionaries: West Hanna Manor" is named after the river that flows through the manor. The local soil belongs to crimson fertile volcanic soil. The Harries family has been growing coffee for nearly a century. With rich planting experience and local ideal local conditions for coffee production, the output has always had a good flavor performance.

In addition to the sustainable operation of the coffee industry, the manor owner also focuses on giving back to the local community by donating more than 50 mu of land to Thika City Hall and Wabeni technology research institutions, dedicated to educating children from poor families on practical living skills and improving the living conditions of local people.
