## What the Brand Says

> Region: Thika, Kiambu Elevation: 1524 masl About: Chania Estate was founded in 1926 by Allen Harries, Boyce’s great-great-grandfather. Allen moved to Kenya from South Africa and travelled for two days from Nairobi, on donkeys, to the area that would later become Thika. In the beginning, the family set about discovering what could be farmed successfully and tried cattle, sisal and pineapples, but over time coffee became the dominant crop. Today, Chania Estate is planted with several coffee varieties, including the very rare SL-14, and is also one of the only estates that produce high scoring natural and anaerobic lots. Apart from producing amazing coffee, the Harries family co-founded the Wabeni Technical Institute, which provides local children access to education in technical skills and trades.
