What Solberg & Hansen says about this coffee
Tasting notes: Fruity and balanced. Caramel on fragrance. Taste of blackcurrant and dried fruit.
The Rukira washing station in Othaya is known for delivering high quality coffee with a distinct Kenyan flavour profile. In this coffee you will find the best of Kenya, with juicy flavours of blackcurrant.
Rukira is one of the washing stations affiliated with the Othaya Farmers Society. It was built in 1979 and is located close to a village of the same name, between the Mumwe and Thuti rivers that flow down from the Aberdare Mountains. At the washing station, nearby farmers deliver their hand-picked coffee berries, which are weighed and sorted according to high quality standards before being processed. They also have their own coffee plantation at the washing station.
Over the years we have bought coffee from Rukira, we have found the coffee to be of very good quality, with the lovely blackcurrant and red berry flavours that Kenyan specialty coffee is known and loved for. We are delighted to have established a good relationship with this washing station.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
How it sits among coffee from Kenya
Solberg & Hansen describe this coffee as fruity. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Kenya; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Kenya, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 3 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
