Story

The Kainamui factory serves about 1,800 smallholder coffee farmers who are members of the New Ngariama Farmers Cooperative Society, about 600 of whom are women. The smallholders own an average of 200 trees on less than half a hectare of land. Farmers in the area grow grevillea, macadamia nuts, eucalyptus, tea, corn, and bananas in addition to coffee. The factory receives field visits from agricultural ministers and agro-companies who offer training programs. The FCS also provides pre-financing for farmers to allow them to pay school fees, production costs, and in case of emergencies.

Description
The Kainamui factory produces this classic washed process Kenyan coffee in the mountains of Kirinyaga. The cup is intense and dynamic with a juicy mouthfeel and crisp finish.
