DESCRIPTION

One of our favorite Kenyan coffees is back! We traveled out to the Kii washing station back in January to pick out this specific lot. This coffee was such a standout on the cupping table with complex and deeply sweet stone fruit notes. It's less classic "high acid/tomato-like" in it's attributes and more balanced and thick. The tasting notes and superb cup quality speak for itself. 

Named after the nearby river In Kenya’s Kirinyaga County, Kii Factory is one of three washing stations operated by Rung'eto Farmers Cooperative Society.

This particular lot is fully washed and grown between 1,600 and 1,800 masl in clay-loam soil. Dense, ripe cherries are meticulously sorted before pulping. The cherries are then fermented overnight, washed, graded, and dried on raised beds for 8–14 days. Resulting in a clean, structured Kenyan coffee with tasting notes reminiscent of very sweet Loquat, Golden Raisin, and Citron Honey Tea, Peach juice, brown sugar, and a very complex body.

Set within the fertile landscape of Kirinyaga County, Kii Factory is framed by clear views of snow-capped Mount Kenya and nourished by the Kii River, which originates within the Mount Kenya forest. The area’s cool temperatures, plentiful annual rainfall, and elevations reaching 1,800 masl create a strong environment for Kenya’s celebrated coffee varieties.

At Kii, coffee is handled with the kind of structured care that defines classic Kenyan washed processing. Ripe cherries are sorted before pulping, then the parchment ferments overnight. After washing, the coffee is graded into density-separated lots and dried on raised tables for 8 to 14 days. Clarity and consistency are truly emphasized, allowing the character of the varieties to come through in the final cup.

Managed by factory manager Danson and supported by the cooperative’s 850 active farmers, Kii is a strong example of the community-driven production model at the heart of Kenyan coffee. Its story is one of fertile land, sustainability, and careful processing - rooted in the foothills of Mount Kenya.
