AB Kianyangi

Kianyangi coffee factory was established in 1991 under Murue Farmers’ Cooperative Society. Together with the factories Kavuturi, Gituara and Ngurueri, Kianyangi is known for producing top quality coffee. The main harvest here is from November and on, each farmer owning around 130 trees on average. Varieties grown are typical for Kenya – SL28, SL34, Ruiru and Batian. After picking, ripe cherry is brought to the factory by smallholder farmers before it undergoes processing to remove the skin and pulp – known as the wet processing method. Five soaking pits have been established for wastewater management, and wastewater is also recirculated. The factory helps increase local coffee quality and production with farmer training and financing. This is a classic Kenyan coffee with juicy mouthfeel and bright earthy fruity flavors.
