SUMMERTIME AND THE COFFEE’S EASY… wait, that sounds like this is some smooth, easygoing Guatemala… not that there’s anything wrong with that it’s just that this isn’t that. This is a bright, punchy Kenyan with a lime tart acidity, rhubarb, and stewed fruits. This is flash brews before the beach, this is sunshine on the terrace with a bloody mary. This is the Kenya Karamikui.
Named after the Karimikui Factory, a cornerstone of coffee processing since its establishment that’s nestled in the foothills of Mount Kenya. This factory facilitates around 600 smallholder farmers in the region, with advantages from fertile, volcanic soil. Made up of the varieties SL28, SL34 & Ruiru11, the Karimikui benefits from its altitude of 1600 - 1700 masl, as well as a climate of 13-24 degrees celsius (ideal for coffee cultivation).
