    Kenya is one of the top 20 coffee producers in the world and 5th in Africa, having introduced coffee from Brazil in 1893 under British colonial rule which advanced its large-scale production mainly for export. Coffee thrives in Kenya's equatorial climate and fertile soils, with the main varieties of Arabica and Robusta producing up to 51,000 tons annually despite consumption being less popular than tea due to colonial-era export focus.
