Coffee from Kenya is truly something special, and we’ve long wanted to have a regular one in our assortment. This coffee from Kiamutuira is one of our favorites based on parameters such as quality, complexity, and women in the coffee industry.
A coffee with great complexity
It’s a juicy coffee with a fruity aroma of citrus and grapes. The coffee has great complexity and the flavor notes are vinous, particularly characterized by blackcurrant and redcurrant. With a Kenya coffee, you get plenty of body without compromising on the fruity nuances that come naturally.
Partnership for action
Kiamutuira is located in Kenya’s lush landscapes and is a testament to the spirit of local agriculture and the rich heritage of the Kikuyu people. The washing station was established in 1996 and is a proud part of the Mutira Cooperative Society, a collective that has been at the heart of Kenyan coffee production since 1951.
Kiamutuira washing station was established to meet the needs of local farmers by offering a reliable facility for coffee processing. Over the years, it has grown into a symbol of quality and community, now producing some of the finest coffee in the region.
A magnificent landscape
The plantation is uniquely located, bordering the magnificent Mount Kenya forest. This proximity to one of Kenya’s most iconic natural landmarks gives the farm rich biodiversity and a fantastic natural landscape. The region is characterized by rolling hills and green areas, creating an ideal environment for both coffee and tea cultivation.
The farmers benefit from a temperate climate with average daytime temperatures of 25°C and nighttime temperatures around 15°C. This climate, combined with an average annual rainfall of 150 mm, provides perfect conditions for growing high-quality coffee. The volcanic clay soil further enhances soil fertility and supports the growth of the farm’s primary coffee varieties: SL28, SL34, and Batian.
In the area, shade trees, especially Macadamia, are used to protect coffee plants from excessive sunlight and maintain soil health. This not only helps produce better quality coffee but also ensures a healthier, more balanced agricultural environment.
A community with a rich cultural heritage
The cooperative consists of 600 small farmers with an average of 0.1 hectares. Notably, there are more women than men among the members, highlighting women’s central role in the community’s agricultural success.
The farmers predominantly belong to the Kikuyu ethnic group, a community known for its rich cultural heritage and agricultural skills. The Kikuyu language and cultural practices give the cooperative a unique identity and foster a strong sense of belonging and mutual support among members. While coffee is the primary crop, the region’s agricultural diversity is enriched by tea cultivation, another important crop in the area. This diversity not only provides economic stability for farmers but also ensures that the land remains fertile and productive.
