BIG STORY BEHIND THIS COFFEE
This coffee is sourced from Karani washing station in Kirinyaga county and has a membership of slightly over 1000. This washing station is part of the larger Kabare Cooperative society together with 10 other washing stations.
Karani is both a coffee and tea growing zone.
This coffee is cultivated on the volcanic soil of Mt Kenya by small scale farmers with an average of 0.3 to 0.5 ha of land who grow coffee and tea as a source of family income alongside subsistence food such as bananas, beans , potatoes. They intercrop the coffee with avocados, macadamia and mangoes providing the much needed shade cover.
A key sustainability selling point is the fact that they are FLO (Fair Trade) certified and have installed a modern eco pulper that uses less water during the processing.
An opportunity to roast and present this coffee to our community is such a great honor.
