The New Ngariama Farmer’s Cooperative Society, which has a current membership of about 1,500 local growers, is a wetmill situated in Ngariama location, Nyangeni sub-location at Kirinyaga County. The factory treats all water in soak pits to ensure no contamination runs into the local waterways, which are a source for drinking water.
The Kiamugumo factory and its local producer farms are situated on the slopes of Mount Kenya. Rich volcanic soil, lots of annual rainfall, and the abundance of highly esteemed SL-28 and SL-34 varieties all lend immense quality to the production of coffee in this specific area. In this area of Kenya, smallholders deliver coffee in cherry to washing stations.
This is a deliciously rich coffee, complex pinot noir, with undertones of jammy red berries, fig jam, and a little darker panela caramel notes to keep it smooth.
