KENYA - Rung”eto Kiangoi AB Lot 028 Espresso (Natural)

Why do we need two Kenya labels you ask? Because there’s so many good ones. We just have this rotation now of great Kenyan coffees. There should be some differences between them, sure. Like some are rich and sweet with molasses and others have brightness and a fruity intensity that you’re simply not going to get anywhere else (in any other origin, that is). 

This coffee is just one of our great Kenya’s but that doesn’t mean it’s to be missed. The Rung’eto Kiangoi, coming from the Kiangoi Factory which is managed by the Rung’eto Farmers Cooperative - which I hope answers any questions you might have about where it got its name from. We’ve had a few coffees over the years from the Kii Factory and the Karimikui factory, and these all fall under the same cooperative - after the dissolution of the Ngiriama FCS. 

Accepting coffees from 1160 smallholders in surrounding areas, the factory and its cooperative also operates a dairy cooling plant that supplies to one of Kenya’s largest dairy companies, meaning the farmers within the cooperative have a diversified income that’s not so reliant on crops. 

With notes of blueberry jam, date, and rhubarb.
