From the fertile slopes of Kirinyaga County comes this standout AA lot, produced by smallholder farmers and processed at the renowned Kainamui Washing Station. Grown at 1,650–1,800 meters, the combination of rich volcanic soils, cool evenings, and warm days fosters slow cherry development and remarkable flavour complexity.
After careful handpicking, cherries are pulped and fully washed, with fermentation in water to break down the mucilage before thorough rinsing. The coffee is then dried on raised beds under close supervision, ensuring clarity, vibrancy, and balance in the final cup.
In the cup, Kenya Kainamui AA shines with layers of raspberry jam sweetness and zesty key lime pie, finishing with beautiful floral aromatics. It’s a bright, expressive coffee that captures the elegance and intensity of Kenya’s Central Highlands.
