We sell Kenyan AA arabica coffee beans and black tea (tea bags or loose tea). The Kenyan coffee is recognized worldwide for it’s high quality, fruity flavor and intense aroma. The coffee is grown in the rich volcanic soils that surround Mt. Kenya. It is hand picked and goes through several washing processes before it is milled for roasting and export. Strict quality control is maintained throughout the whole process - from the farm to the consumer.    
     
       
       
  For tea lovers – tea is refreshing, health enhancing beverage. It contains vitamin C, E, powerful anti-oxidant properties and has no chemical additives. The Kenyan black tea ranks among the world’s top tea choices.    
  Kenyan tea is grown at high altitudes (1500 – 2700 meters) on rich volcanic alluvial soils with well distributed rainfall. The method of harvesting by selectively plucking the upper two leaves and a bud gives the tea its distinct quality.
   
 
 

We also have additional food items such as:

Njahi (Kikuyu black bean, with a white eye) - This bean is very nutritious and to the Kikuyu people the bean represents a symbol of new birth. It is the first meal a Kikuyu mother eats after the birth of a child. It is also served during important Kikuyu ceremonies such as weddings, and rites of passage. For vegetarians and those concerned about BSE, Njahi is a good source of safe protein and other nutrients.

Tea Masala – For those who like to flavor and spice their tea, this imported spiced tea masala will give your tea a truly African taste.

Royco Mchuzi Mix - If you have ever wondered why east African meals are so tasty and fresh, we invite you to try and flavor your meals with the Royco Mchuzi Mix. We are sure you will like it.
   
 

Starting in late 2004, we will be offering additional services consisting of:

Eco-tours to Kenya: The tours will be planned to allow participants to visit the primary tea and coffee growing areas of Kenya, actively engage with the local people and visit the famous Kenya wildlife parks.

Running Safaris: For those who would like to combine their Safari with a health enhancing activity, we will schedule a 1 –2 weeks running camp in the Rift Valley highlands, where the greatest of the Kenyan runners come from. During this period, participants will be able to train and run with some of the greatest Kenyan runners.

Summer camps for youth: We will arrange for youth to visit a Kenyan High School and participate in school activities for a period of 1-2 weeks, with an additional 1-2 weeks devoted for visiting game parks and other areas of interest. Our intention is to expose foreign youth to life in an African environment and generate positive engagement.

  
   
  We will provide information regarding how to participate in the last three activities at a later date after we work out all the details.
