Overview

Kenya feeds the world's coffee shops and tea aisles, and almost nobody comes here to taste it at source. Four nights built entirely around what's on the plate and in the glass: a cupping session with a Nairobi roaster, lunch on a Tigoni tea estate, a Rift Valley vineyard tasting, and dinner at the restaurants defining Nairobi's current food scene.
