Kericho county has a long history within the speciality coffee culture. In fact, the Kipkelion and Fort Tenan regions boast some of the first ever coffee farms in Kenya, which were originally planted by foreign settlers. Despite this, Kericho county (and by extension Bomet) are not as known for producing coffee as central Kenya. This is partially due to the fact that central Kenya’s coffee gets sold in bulk by large exporters through the national auctioning system, and also because the farmers from Kericho and Bomet counties generally work within under-managed cooperatives that coffee dealers like to take advantage of for cheap prices.
Ainabtany AB originates from Lot 20, an organisation that works in the region specifically to try and organise Kericho and Bomet farmers into properly functioning entities that process and sell coffee on their own, without the assistance of middle men or the auction system. They are passionate about farming and have goals to produce delicious coffee that showcases the beauty of their region. All Lot 20 coffees have limited releases since they are sourced from small micro-lots deemed to be exceptional examples of farming innovation that create unique flavour experiences.
