ABOUT KENYA KARIMIKUI
Coffee processing in Kenya is organized in centralized mills, known as factories. The Karamikui Coffee Factory serves the villages of Githureia, Gituba, and Kiamugumo in Kirinyaga County, processing cherries from approximately 600 dedicated smallholder farmers in the region. Coffees are meticulously selected for ripeness and quality, and the factory’s output has garnered a reputation for excellence.
KENYA DIG IT
Coffees grown in this region enjoy the fertile volcanic soils on the slopes near Mount Kenya, along with the mild temperatures ideal for coffee cultivation. Farmers here focus primarily on SL-28 and SL-34 coffee varieties, esteemed and long-lasting coffee varieties developed here in Kenya in the 1930s. This coffee from Karimikui represents a classic citrus-forward Kenyan profile—one that’s well loved among East African coffee fans.
