Here are a few photos from our time on the slopes of Mt. Meru in the village of Nkoaranga! Our guides, Samuel and Emmanuel, both grew up in the village and were incredibly knowledgable. They kept us all informed and laughing heartily throughout our walk of the coffee plantations and small roastery. We had the opportunity to learn about the different processes of coffee roasting and got to try the many different roasts produced by the company!

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset in the shadow of Mt. Meru on our journey back home to Marurani.
