Kagumoini is located 3km from the town of Karatina in the Central province of Kenya. This factory services five nearby villages and is made up of close to 1,100 members. Its main water source is the Ruiru river and four pulpers are used for cherry processing. Overseeing the factory is a manager who reports to the Mugaga Farmers Cooperative Society (FCS). There are three representatives from Kagumoini who are a part of this management committee. Part of the factory’s mandate is to ensure the welfare of its farmer members and currently there are programs in place that help provide advances for school fees, farm inputs and training by staff from the Ministry of Agriculture.

This year, we have purchased three different lots of Kenyan coffees, all of them AA – the top grade in Kenya. This lot is quite different from your classic Kenyan flavour profile, with lots of nectarine and peach plus a hint of red cherry.

Aurora ★★★★★

The dry fermentation really comes through in the cup, giving it a juicy, almost wine-like depth that I wasn't expecting from a washed process. The SL 28 and SL 34 blend makes for a surprisingly complex brew that I look forward to every morning. Already ordered another bag.

Ryan ★★★★★

The acidity is so bright and clean, exactly what you'd expect from a washed SL 28. I brewed it in a pour-over and the dry fermentation gives it a lovely, lingering finish.

Carter ★★★★★

The washed process really lets the SL 28 and SL 34 shine—it's got that bright, clean cup you expect from Kirinyaga, and even the dry fermentation adds a bit of depth without any funk. I brewed it in a pour-over and it was a whole mood, tart and sweet at the same time. Definitely the best bag I've ha
