Karimikui
The Karimikui Factory is part of the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society, which works with cherry from over 500 producers. The water used for the washed fermentation process comes from the local river, called Karimikui! Super bright in acidity, this cup feels like blood orange, blackberry, and cola.
The Rungeto Farmers Co-operative Society has approximately 600 members, with 500 actively engaged in farming. The factory is situated in a densely populated tea-growing zone. Karimikui factory conducts training sessions on agronomy for its members and has a committee that surveys farms to ensure compliance with established standards, such as avoiding the intercropping of coffee with maize or beans.
Water for processing is sourced from the River Karimikui. The wet mill is located on-site, allowing for same-day processing and minimizing spoilage. Additionally, the factory has implemented a recirculation system and wastewater soak pits as part of its sustainable farming initiatives.

SL28 was developed in 1931 by Scott Laboratories to suit the growing conditions in Kenya. The varietal is known for its exceptional cup quality
Developed by Scott Laboratories in Kenya, the SL34 varietal was designed to be high yielding with good cup quality.
Alongside Ethiopia and Colombia, Kenya is one of the origins we get most excited about at the roastery. It exports some of the most vibrant, bright, and unique coffees in the world.
This region is located east of Nyeri, and has similarly rich volcanic soils and a high percentage of smallholder producers.
Machines are used to remove the flesh from the coffee cherry before being fermented in water, washed again, and finally sun dried. This process tends to result in more distinct, cleaner flavours.
