mara estate was created in 2019. as coffee production is relatively new in this area, the farm was set up from the ground up. this area is very favorable for coffee growing, however historically the local tribe, the masai people, have been pastoral nomads. the farm is near the town of lolgorien and only a couple of kilometers away from the masai mara.

currently the farm is processing most of their coffee as naturals. for their natural process, cherries are hand-picked and sorted to remove all defects. cherry fermentation occurs in barrels for 4 days and is subsequently dried on raised beds. the coffee is then handpicked a second time during the drying process to improve quality.
