Kenya Kianderi

Coffee Story
Grown by 760 smallholder farmers near Wambu as part of the New Weithaga Cooperative Society, in the Muranga county in central Kenya, this classic SL 28 and SL 34 Kenyan coffee is processed at the Kianderi Factory. These farmers planted their coffee trees in the early 1950s on the highly productive south-western slopes of Mt Kenya and the eastern slopes of the Aberdare Ranges. Once freshly handpicked, the cherry is delivered to the wet mill the same day to be sorted and carried out at the wet mill before pulping. Processing utilizes clean river water (wet processing) recirculated before disposal into seepage pits. Sun drying is done before delivery of the coffee to the dry mill for secondary processing.
