Juicy and floral, that is our ideal taste profile for our Kenyan coffees, and Kiamugumo delivers. Peach notes abound, and this coffee is a wonderful as a batch or pour-over morning brew, or as a crisp and refreshing afternoon iced coffee. As with most our Kenyan offerings, supply is limited, so enjoy it while you can!
Kiamugumo factory is situated in the community of Ngariama in the Nyangeni subregion of Kirinyaga County, on the slopes of Mount Kenya. In this area of Kenya, smallholders deliver coffee in cherry to washing stations. Typically the climate ranges from 12 to 25 degrees Celsius year round - privileged temperatures compared to other coffee-growing areas in Africa. The Ngariama area has a long chain of mountains that help provide a diversity of altitudes and terrain for coffee cultivation.Production cycles follow the standard timeframe with the main crop harvested October through December/January and fly crop harvested April through June. After harvesting, producers bring the ripe cherries to the factory in horses or motorcycles. The cherries are washed and depulped with water from the Kii River. After washing, the coffee is dried on typical African raised beds, which allow good air circulation between the beans. Beans are dried to between 11 and 13% moisture, then brought to the Central Kenya Coffee Mill in Karatina Nyeri county for grading and sorting.
