Not stated

farm or estate, producer, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

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.

Where each fact came from

Acidity, described

“The region’s deep red volcanic soils, abundant rainfall and cool temperatures create ideal conditions for slow cherry maturation, helping to develop the bright acidity, complexity and clean cup profile that Kirinyaga coffees are known for.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Altitude, lowest

“At around 1,700 metres above sea level, more than 1,300 smallholder farmers cultivate coffee in the cool, high-altitude conditions between Kerugoya and Kiandai.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Variety

“The coffee is predominantly made up of SL34, alongside Ruiru 11 and Batian varieties.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

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.
