    Some of the world’s best arabica coffee beans are grown on the fertile land around Mount Kenya. But like the citizens of many former British colonies, Kenyans are $\partial$ to tea. Now an expanding middle class is getting a taste for coffee. Domestic consumption is expected to reach 3,600 tonnes this year, almost a tenth of total production. The pandemic has shown just how important a local market can be, as logjams at ports and a sharp drop in global demand crush exports. “Covid has been an eye-opener,” says Gloria Gummerus, who runs the Sakami estate in western Kenya.
