Kenya is an important producer of fine coffee in East Africa, but its production accounts for less than 5% of the global coffee market, and auctions are held every Tuesday in Nairobi, the capital, for export to all parts of the world; most of Kenya's coffee sources are small coffee farmers, each farmer has about 0.5-3 acres of farmland, but local laws require farmers under 5 acres to join cooperative organizations, and only a few local private organizations have the ability to establish plantations.

Yala Estate is located in Kiambo District, about 23 kilometers north of Nairobi, Kenya, and is adjacent to Cianda, Windrush estates and other large farms. Yarra is a well-equipped estate, mainly producing high-quality coffee beans and tea, up to 1732 meters above sea level, an area of about 640 acres; Yarra estate owner Edward (Edward) from England, immigrated to Kenya in 1902 to establish the estate, the early period mainly cattle farming period, until 1930 began to grow coffee. In 1971, local farmers formed Gatatha Farmers Co. Ltd, which took over the estate and specialised in coffee and tea production, with coffee trees grown at the highest elevations in the area, tea grown near homes and dairy cattle kept at lower elevations. The environment of the estate is unique. The soil is well-drained and rich in nutrients. The rainfall is between 988 mm and 1300 mm. The native Albizia tree in the mountains provides good shade for coffee trees. It is also a good habitat for many wild animals, such as antelope, hyena, porcupine, squirrel, anteater, monkey... The application for RFA Rainforest Certification is also under way.
