This unique Kenyan coffee bean variety must look back in history: the French missionary French Mission is a primitive bourbon introduced by French missionaries at the end of 1800, while Kenya's annual 760mm rainfall, with an average climate of 22 degrees Celsius and crimson volcanic soil, these perfect conditions give full play to the genetic advantages of this variety.

West Hanna is a medium-sized coffee estate owned by A.I.R. Harries and Son Ltd, a family business located in the town of Thika in the central province of Kenya. The Harries family has lived in the Thkia area since 1904 and has been growing coffee for nearly a century. The Harries family donated more than 50 acres of land to the Sika City Bureau (Thika Municipal Council) and co-founded the Wabeni Institute of Technology, which aims to teach poor children practical skills to help them make a living, such as sewing, electrical machinery and carpentry.

The manor is made up of 180 acres of coffee germplasm, which has shrunk by 90 acres in the past two years, producing about 120t of shell beans a year. The varieties planted here are: French missionaries, K7, SL28, SL34, SL14, Ruiru11 and so on. The estate has 20 regular employees, including some third-generation family members. With the cycle of the harvest season, the manor will employ an additional 120 people at most.

This sun-treated Kenyan coffee bean comes from Jason Long of Caf é Imports, who says:

West Hanna is one of the few large estates in Kenya that still retains French missionary species, and SL-34 seems to have a closer relationship with missionary bourbon than SL-28, and SL-28 is the reason for Kenyan coffee's unique black beauty fruit bomb and grape flavor. Secondly, I often measure the flavor of lemon in French missionary cups. I don't like sun-treated coffee in all producing areas. I love sun-dried beans from Ethiopia because the sun-treated raw beans themselves have a very unique flavor. so after sun treatment, you can get a perfect combination of the sun flavor and the uniqueness of the raw bean itself. For me, Kenyan coffee beans are also very unique, and that's where the story begins.
