We’re delighted to have a coffee from Kenya on our counter again. Nothing quite beats the big jammy acidity found in great Kenyan coffee, although these flavour qualities are becoming more difficult to come by. No one quite knows why this is, but when we find it, we buy it, and here it is.

About
Profile
The New Ngariama Farmers’ Cooperative Society has over 7,000 active members delivering coffee cherry to their three coffee processing stations (locally known as coffee factories). The Kiamugumo Coffee Factory is the cooperative’s most recently established processing station and receives coffee from 3,000 farmers. The growers have small farms (around 300 trees each) located northeast of Ngariama around the villages of Kiamugumo, Gatitu, Kiambuku, Kibai, and Gacharingo. These villages are in the foothills of Mount Kenya and benefit from productive soil, high altitude, and a great climate for growing coffee. This is our first shipment of coffee from Kiamugumo and we are thrilled with the fresh jam flavours and soft fruity acidity.

Filter
This is suitable for our paper filters and ceramic or plastic cones, along with other brands such as V60, Clever dripper and Melitta.
Stovetop
This is an espresso style grind suitable for use in hob top espresso pots such as a Bialetti or Grunwerg. Sometimes referred to as a moka pot.
Aeropress fast
This is also an espresso style grind ideal for brewing a short, concentrated, espresso style coffee in an Aeropress.
