Prodigal Coffee

Kivanga AA

Kivanga Estate is a 75-hectare single-origin operation in Emba, Kenya, sitting at 1,750 meters elevation—unusual in that Kenya typically trades in large co-op lots. Managed by Morris Njagi, the estate operates its own washing station and processes its own coffee. Cherries were hand-picked at peak ripeness, sorted, floated, and pulped before aerobic fermentation in open tanks, followed by washing and 14–21 days of drying on raised beds. The cup delivers super-ripe blackberry and cranberry with that signature Kenyan brightness and body, distinguished further by a clean SL-28 & SL-34 varietal split. This is a limited lot built on terroir and meticulous processing—a standout for the season.
