About
This lot comes from the Kamwangi washing station and is grown at altitudes of 1,600-1,800 masl. by smallholders in Kirinyaga County, in Kenya’s central highland region. Kamwangi is one of three washing stations managed by the Ngariama Farmers Cooperative Society, which serves around 1,500 farmers in this region, home to the slopes of Mount Kenya, rich volcanic soils, and numerous rivers. Coffee develops slowly due to the high altitude and lower temperatures, creating very muture fruit flavours, high in complexity.
