Welcome to Ragis Coffee Ltd, your premier destination for the finest Arabica coffee in Kenya. For over 40 years, we have been dedicated to cultivating, processing, and delivering the highest quality Arabica coffee from the fertile highlands of Nyeri County. As a family-owned farm, we combine traditional farming practices with modern techniques to bring you coffee that is rich in flavor, history, and sustainability.
Coffee was first introduced to Kenya in the late 19th century by British colonial settlers. However, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that coffee farming began to flourish. The establishment of the Coffee Board of Kenya and the introduction of the auction system in the 1930s helped streamline production and improve quality. Today, Kenya is one of the leading producers of Arabica coffee in Africa, with a reputation for excellence in the global coffee market.
Kenyan Arabica coffee is primarily grown in the high-altitude regions of the country, which provide the ideal conditions for coffee cultivation. Key growing areas include:
Nyeri
Located on the slopes of Mount Kenya, Nyeri is one of the most famous coffee-growing regions. The rich volcanic soil and cool climate produce coffee with bright acidity and fruity notes.
Kirinyaga
Known for its high-quality beans, Kirinyaga’s coffee is characterized by its complex flavor profile, often featuring hints of blackcurrant and citrus.
Murang’a
This region produces coffee with a well-balanced flavor, often with notes of berries and a smooth finish.
Embu
Embu’s coffee is known for its medium body and vibrant acidity, with flavors ranging from tropical fruits to wine-like notes.
Kiambu
Located near Nairobi, Kiambu’s coffee is prized for its bright acidity and floral aromas.
Ragis Coffee Ltd was founded in the early 1980s as a small family farm in Nyeri County. Over the past four decades, we have grown into a respected name in the Kenyan coffee industry, known for our commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation.
Our journey began with a simple vision: to produce the finest Arabica coffee while preserving the natural beauty of our land and supporting our community. Today, we are proud to be recognized as Best Roasters in Nyeri County, a testament to our dedication to excellence and our passion for coffee.
At Ragis Coffee Ltd, we believe that great coffee starts with great farming. Our sustainable and eco-friendly practices ensure the health of our soil, the well-being of our workers, and the longevity of our farm.
Only the ripest coffee cherries are handpicked by our skilled farmers, ensuring the highest quality beans.
We use the washed (wet) method to process our coffee, which enhances its bright acidity and clean flavor profile. The process involves:
Removing the cherry pulp from the beans.
Fermenting the beans to remove the mucilage.
Washing and drying the beans under the sun.
The beans are dried naturally on raised beds, allowing them to develop their unique characteristics while preserving their quality.
We are committed to eco-friendly practices, including:
Using organic fertilizers and natural pest control methods.
Conserving water through efficient processing techniques.
Promoting biodiversity by planting shade trees and other crops alongside coffee.
