A coffee with depth and complexity

Flavor Wheel - juicy and wine-like

This coffee comes from the Kiamutuira washing station in the Kirinyaga region of Kenya. Here, the Arabica varieties SL 28, SL 34 and Baitan are grown at altitudes between 1650 and 1700 masl. The coffee is wet-processed and characterized by a juicy, fruit-driven aroma with distinct notes of citrus and grape. In the cup, it is experienced with a layered and complex flavor, where especially the wine-like characteristics as well as nuances of blackcurrant and ribes stand out clearly.

Community in action

A strong unity around the Kiamutuira washing station

In the middle of Kenya’s green and lush landscape lies Kiamutuira – a clear example of local pride and cooperation, deeply rooted in the Kikuyu people’s culture and agricultural traditions. The washing station was built in 1996 and is part of the Mutira Cooperative Society, which since 1951 has played a central role in the development of coffee production in the area.

Kiamutuira was originally created to support the surrounding farmers with a stable and efficient processing site for their coffee. Today, the station stands as a symbol of both quality and community – and delivers some of the most recognized coffees from the region.

A captivating coffee landscape

Shade providers and nature's balance

An area with optimal conditions for producing first-class coffee

Located close to the majestic Mount Kenya forest, the farm benefits from an area rich in biodiversity and characterized by a magnificent natural landscape. This proximity to one of Kenya’s most famous natural areas creates optimal conditions for growing both coffee and tea.

The rolling hills and lush surroundings create an ideal environment for growing quality coffee. Here you benefit from a mild climate, where daytime temperatures typically are around 25°C, while nights are cooler at around 15°C. Combined with an annual rainfall of approximately 150 mm, this provides extremely favorable conditions for the coffee plants.

The soil in the area consists of nutrient-rich, volcanic clay, which supports the growth of the coffee varieties SL28, SL34 and Batian. To protect the plants from intense sun, natural shade trees are used – for example macadamia – which not only protects the plants, but also preserves the soil’s health. This approach promotes sustainable production and simultaneously supports high quality in the finished coffee.

A strong community with roots in culture and tradition

Kiamutuira's strength lies in its people

It is women who dominate the membership of the cooperative

The cooperative in Kiamutuira comprises around 600 smallholder farmers, where each typically owns just 0.1 hectares of land. What is special about this community is the large representation of women – they make up the majority of members and play a central role in the area’s agriculture and economy.

Most of the farmers belong to the Kikuyu people – an ethnic group with a proud cultural heritage and deep knowledge of agriculture. The Kikuyu language and traditions contribute to the cooperative’s strong identity and support a sense of belonging and shared responsibility.

Although coffee is the primary crop, tea is also grown in the area. This variation not only strengthens the farmers’ economic foundation, but also contributes to more sustainable agriculture by preserving the soil’s nutritional value and stability.
