Kenya Kirinyaga Rung’eto Kiangoi Washed AB
Blackberry, Cocoa Powder, Full Juicy Body
Kirinyaga County sits at the foothills of Mount Kenya, from which the county’s name is derived. Kirinyaga means the ‘crest of whiteness’ in the Kikuyu language, synonymous with the beautiful, snow-capped peaks.
This county plays host to Kiangoi, the newest factory (established in 1995) of the Rung’eto Farmers Society, which serves around 1,000 coffee producers. It processes around 160 tons of cherries per year with a stunning view of Mount Kenya.
Farmers handpick the cherries and deliver them to the factory on the day of harvest to ensure freshness. After being sorted to eliminate underripe or overripe cherries and foreign objects, the cherries are processed using fresh water from the nearby river, which maintain the flavors of the coffee. They are then sun-dried on raised beds and handpicked to remove defects before being delivered to a dry mill for hulling and grading by size and density at the Kiangoi Mill
