It is one of the last two remaining medium-sized farms in Kenya and is located on deep volcanic red soils. This small 35-hectare farm (which is in fact a large farm by Kenyan standards) was named after New Zealand’s Oreti Beach, where Boyce’s grandfather met his grandmother for the first time. Peter Harries decided to plant 17 hectares of SL14 alongside the SL28 in 1961. Although particularly susceptible to disease, the family has kept this variety because it’s of a higher quality than SL28. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Harries family also owns the Chania farm, and 80 hectares of indigenous forests planted to encourage biodiversity currently cover the two farms combined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Kenyan natural is a very unique processed micro-lot where cherries flow down into a machine that de-pulps the cherries. Even if it is a naturally processed coffee they still \"wash\" and sort the cherries prior to drying \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eToday, over 50% of the Chania and Oreti farms are planted with Red Bourbon. The rest is a mix of Ruiru 11 (resistant variety), K7 (rust resistant), SL28 (susceptible to disease but known for its cup quality) and the new Batian variety. The farms have 40 full-time staff, but employ up to 300 people during harvests to select and prepare the coffees. The farm has opened its own nursery school to take care of its employees’ children. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAll the coffee is picked entirely by hand and processed on site. Most are washed, but Boyce also produces natural and honey-processed coffees as well as microlots of specific varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-6\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"cf_orange\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"floatl cf_gris\"\u003eThe Harries family has been living in Kenya, in the town of Thika (Central Province), since 1904. It owns two plantations there: Chania and Oreti. These two farms are the last remaining medium-sized farms in Kenya and are currently owned by Boyce Harries, who belongs to the family’s 5th generation of coffee producers. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Harries family grows varieties that are quite unusual for Kenya, including SL14 and Red Bourbon. It is the last to still produce the SL14 variety, which was the first “SL” to be cultivated in Kenya. SL14 is particularly weak, so it has been gradually replaced in Kenya with the SL28 and SL34 varieties, which are more climate hardy and produce higher yields. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stockholm Roast","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":32144493314150,"sku":"","price":195.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":32144493346918,"sku":"","price":750.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1554\/2831\/products\/Oreti-stor.jpg?v=1673545402","url":"https:\/\/www.stockholmroast.se\/products\/oreti-aa-microlot-kenya","provider":"Stockholm Roast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
