As you cradle a warm cup of Shamba Ndogo, close your eyes and let the journey begin. You’re in Rongai Village, Nakuru County, where the air is crisp, and the land stretches wide beneath the vast Kenyan sky. Here, on a small but mighty farm, coffee trees stand proud, their roots sinking deep into the volcanic soil—nurtured by both the sun and the careful hands of those who tend them.

Shamba Ndogo, meaning Little Farm, is a testament to resilience and craftsmanship. Established in the 1990s, this privately owned estate spans 20.28 hectares and produces an impressive 400 metric tonnes of cherries each year. When the dry season grips the land, the estate’s dams and boreholes sustain the trees, ensuring that every bean ripens to perfection.Your first sip unfolds like a Kenyan sunrise—golden, rich, and full of promise. Caramel and brown sugar dance on your palate, followed by smooth layers of butterscotch and sweet vanilla. It’s a cup that lingers, much like the stories told by the land itself.
