Gilead Estate is in Nyeri, Central Kenya, one of Kenya’s key coffee-growing regions. It is located on the fertile slopes of the Aberdares ranges at an altitude of 1600-1800 meters above sea level. This high elevation, combined with warm days and cool nights, allows the coffee beans to ripen slowly, resulting in a fruity flavor with complex acidity—a signature Kenyan coffee profile.

Farmers in the region, including Gilead Estate, are adopting eco-friendly practices like intercropping coffee with shade trees to boost biodiversity and forest cover. Additionally, technologies like soil testing further optimize farming practices, such as using the right amount of farm inputs (like fertilizers and manure) to ensure the land is cultivated responsibly. These sustainable approaches enhance coffee quality and protect the environment, aligning with global trends in responsible farming.
