LION HILLS MICROLOT 1 KG
Hear the roar of Lion Hills!
Grown high in the hills of Nandi County by third-generation farmer Edward Barngetuny, this microlot carries a family story that goes back more than a century.
Edward’s ancestors were known as lion tamers. Today, Edward is taming something just as unpredictable: coffee. With patience, experimentation, and a lot of curiosity, he produced this limited microlot using a careful honey processing method, leaving part of the cherry’s natural sugars on the bean to enhance sweetness and mouthfeel.
The result? A bright and silky cup with notes of warm honey, ripe stone fruit, caramelized sugar, apricot, gentle citrus, bright yet smooth acidity, silky body, and a clean sweet finish.

HONEY PROCESSED
This microlot is the result of a careful and intentional honey process. Cherries are depulped and dried with part of the mucilage left on the bean, enhancing natural sweetness and complexity.
The result is a refined flavor profile with a silky body and a clean, sweet finish. This method differs from the standard regional processing and gives Lion Hills its distinctive character.
FARMER - MEET EDWARD
Talking to Edward Barngetuny, the passionate farmer behind Lion Hills Coffee, one thing becomes clear: coffee runs deep in this family.
Edward is a descendant of 19th-century lion tamers: people known for courage, patience and respect for nature. Today that same spirit lives on in his coffee. Edward experiments, learns and pushes his farm further every year.
