about this coffee

Karimikui Factory is owned and operated by Rung’eto Farmer Cooperative Society (FCS). 2,591 farmers delivering to the station cultivate coffee at 1,600 to 1,700 meters above sea level. They grow SL28, SL34 and Ruiru 11 varieties and deliver ripe, red cherry to the station.

They soon became the go-to trees for many growers in Kenya due to their deep root structure, which allows them to maximize scarce water resources and flourish even without irrigation. They are cultivated with a serious eye to sustainability and Good Agricultural Practices, with minimal environmental impact…
