Kenya Great Rift Washed AA

When Zakiya left her job at a busy South London hospital during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, she only planned to visit Kenya for a short break. A few years later, she’s running one of Kenya’s most quietly innovative coffee estates. For someone who never planned to stay, she has become the kind of leader the industry didn’t know it needed - not simply expanding land or production, but creating space for transparency, experimentation, and a future in which farming offers real opportunities, especially for young people.

Teodora selected this coffee lot during her visit to Kenya and the farm in January 2026.
