Keia & Martyn's GOLD LABEL coffees is a new line of specialty coffee that we find most interesting and want to share with our customers. Our GOLD LABEL offerings will show producers from regions we are really fond of, people that are using innovative and regenerative practices that we want to highlight, or just simply GOLD STANDARD producers that we are vibing with. Either way, you get to drink some rad coffee. 

This community lot of smallholders from Kiawamaruru evokes the rich, murrum soil that makes up much of the red Kenyan hillsides. The Kiawamaruru Factory is in the Nyeri province and set against a backdrop of dense green forest & fair skies. This is also another beautiful Farm Gate coffee.
