Our Story

Fruit,
Preserved
Beautifully.

Sunlit editorial table scene with dehydrated citrus wheels, mixed dried fruit, sparkling water, and a coupe cocktail — Citrus & Co.

Citrus & Co. began with a single idea: that preserved fruit should be as beautiful as it is useful. What started with dehydrated citrus wheels has grown into a full collection of carefully dried fruits made for modern hosting, gifting, and hospitality.

“It started with a lemon wheel, and the belief that dried fruit could be something beautiful.”

— Citrus & Co., Kenya

Preserved with Purpose

Citrus & Co. was founded on the idea that fruit (especially citrus) deserves more than a quick squeeze or a wilting garnish. A perfectly dehydrated lemon wheel can transform sparkling water, dress a cocktail, or elevate a gift box with quiet, natural beauty.

Purpose in Every Detail

Every slice is finished to keep its shape, color, aroma, and quiet sense of occasion.

01

Selected for color

Chosen for natural vibrancy, clean shape, and visual character.

02

Slowly dried

Dried low and steady to preserve texture, aroma, and form.

03

Packed to be displayed

Finished in formats made for freshness, gifting, and display.

We started with citrus because of its timeless role in drinks and hospitality. Lemon, orange, lime, and grapefruit wheels are slowly dried to capture their color, aroma, and shape. Over time, apple, pineapple, mango, strawberry, and seasonal blends joined the range.

Today, Citrus & Co. supplies home hosts, hotels, cafés, bars, restaurants, and event teams across Kenya with fruit that looks as good as it tastes.
