| Soil And Climate |
Yadini Estate has very deep reddish brown volcanic soils of the Kikuyu loam series; predominated
by dystrohumic Nitisols, Humic Nitisols and Acrisols. High water and nutrient retention capacity
which are both conserved and optimized by proper management are a major agro-geological
strength of these soils. The farm lies on cool, medium to high rainfall zone often referred to as
Agro-ecological zone (UM1), which is an excellent zone for coffee production.
The average annual rainfall is 800mm which falls in a bi-modal pattern. The cool, sometimes very
cold, wet periods occurring between May and July predisposes the coffee to a slow longer
maturation period that culminates in development of premium quality flavour and aroma attributes. |
