The Kieni Factory, located near Karatina in Nyeri County, Kenya, is managed by the Mugaga Farmers’ Cooperative Society. This cooperative oversees five washing stations and supports around 4,800 member farmers, including about 1,000 who deliver their cherry to Kieni. The cooperative’s initiatives focus on improving yields and increasing participation among women and young people, with women making up a significant one-third of the membership.
Farmers supplying to Kieni typically cultivate about 200 coffee trees each on roughly a tenth of a hectare. The main coffee varieties are SL28 and SL34, known for their exceptional quality, alongside Batian and Ruiru 11. The coffee is processed using the washed method, enhancing its clarity and brightness.
At Fjord, we appreciate this coffee’s delicate light roast, which brings forward vibrant notes of currant, blackberry, and a subtle hint of cola. Its balanced acidity and clean finish make it an excellent choice for filter brewing, highlighting the distinctive character of the Kenyan terroir.
