Originally a 20-hectare (~50-acre) farm, it began with just 100 coffee trees—the legal limit for native Africans at the time. When restrictions were lifted in 1961, John planted an additional 500 trees. Over the years, Kamavindi expanded to 10,000 trees, with 7,000 SL28 and 3,000 Ruiru 11. Now managed by Peter Mbature, his mother Hellen Weveti, and his sister Gladwell Wanjira, the farm is transitioning to a full SL28 planting. They are also establishing a training center to educate farmers and coffee buyers on processing and farm management, further investing in the future of Kenyan coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eABOUT SL*\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLast year, we released this selection as SL34. However, recent genetic testing on this farm and other farms has begun to challenge long-held assumptions about which varieties are actually being cultivated in Kenya. At this time, we believe this particular lot comprises SL34, and SL9. This remains an ongoing research project, and we will share the updated findings as the mystery unfolds!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SEY COFFEE","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":54676172243223,"sku":null,"price":45.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/5101\/2119\/files\/2026MbatureFamily_KamavindiEstate_Lot_2-Kenya_2560x_65ff2ece-e1bb-4020-bbb0-94fc20f5137a.webp?v=1790992332","url":"https:\/\/cool-beans.ca\/products\/sey-mbature-family-kamavindi-estate-lot-1-kenya-washed-field-blend","provider":"coolbeans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
