## What the Brand Says

> Coffee is a family tradition at Guchienda estate. Through their dedication to continuous improvement, Esther Wanjiku Kamau and her sons Edwin and Benson Mati elevate this third-generation farm into a flourishing producer of exceptional coffee. This year, Guchienda’s quality earned recognition at the African Fine Coffee Association’s annual Taste of Harvest' competition, where they took first place in the Kenya category. This award-winning coffee boasts sweet flavors of blackberry and tamarind, elevated by a lime-like acidity and a floral finish. Pronunciation: GU-che-en-duh
