Little Swamps is a 45-acre farm at 2,200m in Kenya’s Rift Valley, with 13 acres planted to Batian since 2019. Owned by Doris Tuiyott and managed by Philemon, the farm stands out for swamp-fed irrigation, rigorous organics, and washed processing.
What may be our favorite Kenya release yet, in the cup this washed batian presents with intense Nectarine sweetness, followed by popping hibiscus acidity and blackberry.
Sold in 115g bags.
