Intro
Producer & Process
Specifications

This microlot hails from Kirinyaga, one of Kenya’s most celebrated coffee-growing regions, nestled on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya. Known for its rich volcanic soil, consistent rainfall, and high elevation, Kirinyaga produces coffees with remarkable clarity, depth, and fruit intensity.

Kainamui Factory is part of the New Ngariama Farmers Cooperative Society, representing about 1,800 smallholder farmers. Each farmer carefully handpicks only ripe cherries and delivers them to the wet mill the same day. Upon arrival, the cherries are meticulously hand-sorted, pulped, and fermented in traditional concrete tanks for 12–24 hours, then washed and soaked in clean mountain water for an additional 12 hours a defining step of Kenya’s washed process that enhances brightness and structure in the cup.

The parchment coffee is then dried slowly on raised beds for 7–14 days, turned regularly under the sun to ensure even drying, and covered during midday heat and rain. This attention to detail creates an unmistakably Kenyan cup profile vibrant acidity, juicy sweetness, and long, winey finish.

About the Region

Kirinyaga’s terroir combines fertile volcanic soil, abundant rainfall, and altitudes between 1,600 and 1,900 MASL, creating ideal conditions for growing classic Kenyan varieties like SL28 and SL34. These cultivars are prized for their complex acidity and fruit-forward character, while Batian and Ruiru 11 contribute disease resistance and balance. Together, they produce a harmonious expression of Kenya’s unique flavor identity bold, bright, and elegant.

Each cup of Kainamui AA bursts with notes of blackcurrant jam, orange zest, and toffee, wrapped in a silky texture and clean, lingering sweetness. It’s a coffee that feels both nostalgic and invigorating perfect for early mornings or reflective afternoons.

About the Producers

The New Ngariama Cooperative plays a vital role in sustaining smallholder livelihoods. Farmers typically own less than one hectare of land, and coffee provides their main source of income. Through the cooperative, they gain access to shared milling facilities, agronomic training, and transparent payments that ensure quality is rewarded.

Kainamui’s success lies in this collective effort farmers working together to preserve Kenya’s coffee heritage while continuously improving practices for consistency and traceability. Their dedication shows in every cup.
