Quality policy & objectives

  • Eagle Crown Coffee Ltd continuously adopts ICO Council Resolution 420 (May 2004) which recommends voluntary targets for the minimum quality export standards on its day to day operations. The objective is to stop the export of substandard beans and thereby tightening supply lines in the expectation of higher prices.
  • We are in the process of introducing a quality management system in our production process of converting the fruit of the coffee tree into exportable green bean to demonstrate the consistent quality of products to customers and concerned regulatory institutions. Customer satisfaction will be enhanced through continual improvement of our system, during cultivation too many variables (weather, diseases, and pests) are beyond the control of the producer, and this is why in the case of green coffee the process in the ISO system starts when the cherry is picked and ends when the container is delivered to the ship's side.
  • Nevertheless, we keep good harvesting and processing standards that are essential to maintaining quality and provides own coffee for export with identification and traceability for all the coffee produced.

Uniqueness of Kenyan coffee

Weather

Temperatures of not more than not more than 190 Celsius (350F) and well distributed rainfall in Kenya's coffee growing regions are the optimal weather conditions for high quality coffee.

Soils

Kenya's coffee growing regions are famed for their volcanic soils of great depth and fertility, conditions that are perfect for production of the best quality coffee.

Coffee harvesting

Coffee harvesting in Kenya is done selectively by hand. That eliminates chances of mixing ripe and unripe berries and thereby ensures even quality of the end product.

Quality control

It's compulsory for Kenyan coffee growers to submit samples to the Coffee Directorate of Kenya for analysis. Only approved growers are allowed to sell their coffee.
