First planted, harvested, roasted and brewed as a beverage in Sufi monasteries in the 1400s as a concentration aid for prayer, commercially cultivated coffee found its foothold in Yemen and with its famous port of Mokha, the country became a hub for coffee exported into the Middle East and Europe.

Kenyan peaberry coffee, where only a single coffee bean grows inside a cherry instead of the typical twin beans, is highly sought-after. Because only one bean matures, the peaberry usually develops with more sugars and nutrients than twin beans that share a cherry. That’s also why peaberries are rounder and denser than most coffee beans.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile coffee is native to Ethiopia, it wasn’t introduced to Kenya until 1893, when French missionaries planted the first trees in the Taita Hills. For over a century, Kenya’s coffee could only be traded through a government-run auction system—one of the world's most transparent, designed to reward quality with higher prices. This system cemented Kenya’s reputation for consistently producing quality coffee.
