TATU CITY, Kenya, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tatu Coffee Estates Limited has been awarded 1st and 3rd place in the Washed Arabica Category at the National Taste of Harvest Kenya 2025–2026 Awards, the country's most prestigious competition for coffee quality.
The Washed Arabica category is widely regarded as the most competitive in the country, reflecting Kenya's long-standing global reputation for premium specialty coffee. This dual recognition affirms Tatu Coffee's position among Kenya's leading producers and highlights the strength of its estate-based farming and processing model.
Tatu Coffee has more than 6,500 acres of coffee estates owned by Rendeavour, the developer of Tatu City Special Economic Zone, whose long-term investment strategy supports world-class agricultural practices and sustainable urban development. The scale of the estates allows Tatu Coffee to maintain full control over quality while producing volumes ideal for international specialty markets.
John Sathya, CEO of Tatu Coffee Estates, said, "For decades, Kenyan coffee has been known globally for its exceptional quality. Winning first and third place in the Washed Arabica category demonstrates that Tatu Coffee's farming and processing approach delivers consistent, internationally competitive results. This recognition validates our teams' work and our commitment to producing world-class Kenyan coffee while creating meaningful impact for our people and communities."
The award-winning coffees were selected from Tatu Coffee's regular production, demonstrating that the quality recognised by the judges is consistent rather than limited to special or experimental selections. The international jury praised the coffees for their complex notes of orange blossom, red berries, marmalade, and jam, highlighting the layered clarity, balance, bright acidity, and sweetness, which increased with extraction time.
Tatu Coffee focuses exclusively on the specialty coffee segment, supplying premium washed Arabica to roasters and buyers in Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. The company serves discerning markets that value origin-driven quality rather than commodity-grade coffee.
The award underscores Tatu Coffee's contribution to Kenya's rural economy. Its estates provide thousands of permanent and seasonal jobs, generating significant employment and income in coffee-growing communities. This investment supports livelihoods, contributing to the resilience of Kenya's coffee sector at a time when national coffee production has faced long-term decline.
All Tatu Coffee estates are Rainforest Alliance certified, with sustainability embedded across operations through water recycling, reforestation, ecosystem conservation, responsible waste management, and worker welfare initiatives.

Tatu Coffee wins top Kenya quality awards
SINGAPORE, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mining Asia (https://www.miningasiaconvention.com), South East Asia's largest and longest standing mining conference and exhibition showcasing the region's dynamic mining sector to an international audience of investors, industry leaders and key mining stakeholders, is returning to Singapore Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre from 23-24 June 2026.
For the 2026 edition, Mining Asia expands its focus to include clean energy technologies, batteries, EVs and renewable energy within its conference themes. This evolution reflects the industry's shift towards sustainable mining practices and integration of green technologies across mining operations.
Clean energy, batteries and renewables for Mining Asia
The current energy transition to deliver a clean energy future – powered by renewable energy and electric vehicles - is a defining conversation of our time. For South East Asia, this transition carries particular urgency as the region faces escalating impacts of climate change, including record breaking heat waves, severe droughts and rising sea levels.
Mining Asia has long been at the forefront of championing the South East Asian and wider Asian mining sector, recognizing mining's vital role as a key economic driver for the region. As the world pivots away from coal and accelerates the shift towards clean energy, critical minerals such as nickel, lithium and rare earths have become essential to reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
With Asia Pacific countries such as Indonesia, China and Australia emerging as major critical minerals producers, Singapore's strategic location and reputation as a global finance hub position it as the ideal gateway for fostering investments and dialogue on clean energy, batteries and renewables. Mining Asia thus serves as the premier platform to shape the region's sustainable energy future.
Attendee profile
More than 70% of attendees at Mining Asia come from Asia and the Middle East while Australia, Europe and Americas make up the remaining 30%. This strong regional presence makes Mining Asia the ideal platform for international mining and energy companies seeking to connect with Asia based investors and showcase their projects to a highly targeted audience.
Our investor base includes banks, institutional and private investors, all seeking new opportunities in the mining, energy and clean technology sectors. This qualified investor pool continues to grow yearly, underscoring Mining Asia's proven ability to attract new investors to the event.
Daniel Radziszewski, Managing Director of Spire Events – organisers of Mining Asia since 2015 - states that "Over the past 11 years, the high quality of the speakers assembled at this event has provided insightful regional and international perspectives, leading to Mining Asia being recognised as the leading event in the region for global companies and individuals who wish to understand what makes South East Asia mining industry tick."
He added, "Regular attendees at Mining Asia over the past decade have given feedback that they appreciate the diversity of conference topics, speakers and exhibitors as it provides useful opportunities to learn latest industry developments and establish new business contacts".
