The Nairobi Coffee & Tea Company Limited

The Nairobi Coffee & Tea Company Ltd was established in London’s Mayfair in 1925. Its founders, John Coote and Lt Col Russell Collings – Wells were adventurers, having spent time in what is now Kenya, running coffee farms in the early part of the 20th century, through adversity and danger. Their coffees, renowned even then, as some of the finest in the world, prompted them to set up a roasting facility when they returned back to London, to enable them to work with their passion for the virtues of these fine coffees.
