Kenya Karumandi

About This Coffee

Approximately 1,700 smallholder producers contribute to the Karumandi washing station, managed by the Baragwi Cooperative Society. The rich soil and cool climate of the Kenya highlands provide a place for coffee to thrive. Coffee cherries are delivered to Karumandi and immediately sorted, pulped, and put through a 24 hour dry fermentation. Once complete, the coffee is washed with fresh water from Mt. Kenya rivers, soaked for 6 more hours and then meticulously dried on raised beds under close watch. All of this work by Karumandi farmer members and staff gives a lush cup of honey, highlighted by notes of sparkling peach and sweet cranberry. Kenyan coffees are known for their juicy and crisp flavors. Karumandi has all of these hallmarks while offering sweetness we kept coming back to on the cupping table.
