The story

Malaki Estate was established in 1959 by Edward Marigi. The farm is currently managed by his wife, Florence Mukuhi Marigi, and their daughter, Jessica Marigi. It remains a family-run operation that has maintained a focus on traditional coffee cultivation for over six decades.

Challenges

The farm faces the ongoing difficulty of sourcing and maintaining pure traditional Kenyan coffee varieties, which have become increasingly rare in the region.

Innovations

SEY reports that Malaki Estate has retained older traditional Kenyan selections and also grows macadamia and avocados.

Published coffees linked to this farm

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

Research sources & verification

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
