Despite its proximity to Ethiopia (widely believed to be the region from which coffee originated), coffee was not cultivated in Kenya until [[1893]], when missionaries imported [[Bourbon]] coffee trees from Reunion Island in Brazil<ref>{{cite book \|author=Kenneth Davids \| title= Coffee: A Guide to Buying, Brewing & Enjoying\| year= 2001 \| id=ISBN 031224665X\|pages=14}}</ref>. These trees, descendents from trees discovered in Ethiopia, would be used to develop the [[French Mission varietal]] which is predominant in Kenya today. From 1901, until the start of World War I, coffee production would double each year<ref>{{cite book \|author=Mark Pendergrast \| title= Uncommon Grounds: The history of coffee and how it transformed our world \| year= 1999\|id=ISBN 0465054676\|pages=154}}</ref>.	+	Despite its proximity to Ethiopia (widely believed to be the region from which coffee originated), coffee was not cultivated in Kenya until [[1893]], when missionaries imported [[Bourbon]] coffee trees from Reunion Island in Brazil<ref>{{cite book \|author=Kenneth Davids \| title= Coffee: A Guide to Buying, Brewing & Enjoying\| year= 2001 \| id=ISBN 031224665X\|pages=14}}</ref>.
