Global Educational Tourism & Cultural Exchange Program (GETCEP)

Kenya Coffee School, in partnership with Barista Mtaani, proudly invites schools, colleges, universities, and educational institutions across all continents to collaborate in our internationally recognized Coffee and Tea Tourism & Learning Program in Kenya.

Since 2014, Kenya Coffee School has been organizing educational coffee and tea tours, study trips, cultural immersion programs, and agricultural learning safaris that connect global learners with the origins of the world’s most celebrated beverages — coffee and tea.

Hosted by Alfred Gitau Mwaura and Alice Murugi Gathige, Founders of Kenya Coffee School and Barista Mtaani, these programs provide a unique farm-to-cup learning experience, combining agriculture, culture, sustainability, entrepreneurship, and tourism.
