Sisters of Mary Immaculate

This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.

The story

The Sisters of Mary Immaculate of Nyeri is an indigenous Kenyan Catholic women’s congregation founded in Nyeri in 1918 by Sisters Filippina Njeri, Julia Muthoni and Josepha Wambui with Bishop Filippo Perlo. The coffee record refers specifically to the convent farm associated with Intelligentsia’s archived Sisters of Mary Immaculate release.

Challenges

No farm-specific production challenges are documented in the reviewed primary sources.

Innovations

The archived exact-release record identifies SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11 and Batian; disease-resistance or productivity outcomes are not inferred from the cultivar names.

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.
