Producer Profile
This washed single-variety Batian comes to us from Little Swamps, in the eastern Rift valley region of Kenya. The Estate is owned and operated by Doris. When she acquired Little Swamps in 2019, she inherited flat fields once exhausted by wheat and barley. At 2,200 meters, with the Cherangani Hills as a backdrop, she saw the potential to restore the land through coffee. A government program in 2021 brought Batian seedlings and technical support, but it was Doris’s vision and discipline that transformed the farm. She tested soils, lowered acidity, and invested in organics—mainly manure. She refused chemicals or pesticides, instead drawing irrigation water from the nutrient-rich swamps that give the farm its name.
Brewing Doris Tuiyott
Recommended Use: FILTER
Where to Grind: Start at a coarse setting within our recommended grind range*
*Refer to our Grind & Brew Guide for recipes and grind setting ranges tailored to specific grinders and brewers.
For best results we recommend resting your filter coffee for two to three weeks post-roast before brewing.
Western Rift Valley
Coffee production in the Western Rift Valley is quickly growing as more producers move from livestock raising and traditional crops like maize and sugar cane to planting coffee. The dominant varieties grown here are Batian and Ruiru 11. Volcanic soils here benefit soil health, and warm temperatures are favorable for drying.
Batian
Batian is resistant to coffee leaf rust and coffee berry disease created at the Coffee Research Station (CRS; now the Coffee Research Institute, CRI) in Ruiru, Kenya. Batian was first released in Kenya in 2010. Batian is tall, and has potential for both high yields and high quality.
Washed
Ripe red cherries are loosely pulped then floated before going into plastic bins for an overnight fermentation. Then, they are washed with cold water and skin dried under full shade for 24 hours before being finished on raised beds for 6+ days.
