We’ve long wanted a Kenyan coffee in our lineup because Kenyan coffee is just something special. This coffee from Kiamutuira is so flavorful that it always puts big smiles on our faces when we open the container.
An incredibly nuanced coffee
In the Kirinyaga region lies the Kiamutuira washing station, where this coffee comes from. Made from the SL28, SL34, and Batian varieties, it’s a complex Arabica. The coffee is washed-processed and grown at 1,650–1,700 masl. When we roast these beans, the result is a fresh coffee with a fruity aroma of grapes and citrus. It’s nuanced with flavor notes of redcurrant and blackcurrant, giving it a very wine-like character.
From words to action
Since 1951, the Mutira Cooperative Society has been at the heart of Kenyan coffee production, and in 1996 the Kiamutuira washing station was established as a proud part of the Mutira Cooperative. Set in Kenya’s lush landscapes, the washing station stands as proof of the rich heritage of the Kikuyu people and the spirit that drives local agriculture.
To meet the local farmers’ need for a stable coffee-processing facility, the Kiamutuira washing station was set up. Over the decades, it’s become a symbol of community and quality, and today some of the finest coffee in the region is produced here.
A majestic landscape
The farm sits strategically close to the majestic Mount Kenya forest—one of Kenya’s most iconic natural areas. This location supports rich biodiversity and stunning scenery. The region is characterized by rolling hills and lush green fields that create optimal conditions for growing both coffee and tea.
Farmers benefit from the mild climate, with daytime temperatures typically around 25°C and nights around 15°C. Together with an average annual rainfall of 150 mm, it’s an ideal climate for producing high-quality coffee. The nutrient-rich, volcanic clay soil further boosts growing conditions for the main coffee varieties: SL28, SL34, and Batian.
To protect coffee plants from excessive sunlight while improving soil fertility, shade trees—especially macadamia trees—are used in the area. This practice not only elevates coffee quality, but also promotes a more sustainable and balanced way of farming.
Locals with proud traditions
The cooperative includes about 600 farmers, each typically managing around 0.1 hectares of land. Notably, women make up the majority of members—a clear testament to their crucial role in local agriculture and its success.
Most of the farmers belong to the Kikuyu people, an ethnic group known for strong cultural traditions and agricultural expertise. Their language and customs shape the cooperative’s unique character and strengthen community bonds and mutual support among members. While coffee is the main crop, tea also plays a key role in the area. This crop diversity not only provides a more stable income, but also helps preserve soil fertility and long-term health.
