From a grass hut to global negotiating tables, interwoven with the family's narrative of love, drama and sacrifice, this absorbing tale is a poignant window into Kenya's colonial past. Wollen's resilience, determination and vision was instrumental in setting up Kenya Coffee's reputation for excellence on the world stage.
