The Coffee
Kenya Estate is a bright, lively, AA quality coffee is grown in the Nyeri region just 100 miles from the foot of Mount Kenya.
Kenyan coffee is well known for its vibrant acidity and crisp, fresh taste and Kenya Estate is no exception.
Grown by Acacias Members from six cooperative societies, the beans have been awarded the AA grade, which refers to their larger than normal bean size.
Green coffee beans are graded through cascading layers of sieves, each decreasing in size, until the coffee is trapped on a grading tray. The AA grade makes this some of the finest coffee in the world.
Kenya Estate is a light roast, releasing a bright and lively acidity. It has delicious fruity notes of pineapple and red berries with hints of strawberries and cream at the finish.

Coffee & Culture on Mount Street
Since 1942, H.R.Higgins has been part of Mayfair’s story. From our shop on Duke Street, just a few steps from Mount Street, we have welcomed generations of customers in search of something exceptional. Next week, that story continues as we take part in the Mount Street Arts Festival, running from 13 to 18 October 2025.
International Coffee Day: A Story That Continues
“At its beginning H.R.Higgins (Coffee-man) had to be wholesale only because, as my father says in his diary, you couldn’t expect retail customers to climb up five flights of stairs.”
