Kenya Kainamui AA Microlot – Roasted Coffee

Taste & Crema

Kenya Kainamui AA Arabica coffee impresses coffee lovers with its high-quality beans, as well as its excellent taste and delicate crema. You can easily identify juicy fruits – mostly citrus, grapefruit, raspberries, and grapes. If you focus on the flavor, you can even detect a light touch of chocolate.

Origins

In the middle of Kenya, in the mountainous territory of the Kikuyu tribe, grow unique drought-resistant varieties of coffee. Kenya's most sought-after arabica is harvested at full maturity and processed by what is known as the washing process. Before we reveal the secrets of its production, we will pause for a moment in the land where it was born. Kirinyaga is one of the counties of Kenya. It lies in the central part of the country, covering an area of 1205.4 km². Approximately half a million people live in the hilly countryside, and most of them survive on agriculture. They usually grow tea, coffee, rice, corn, beans, or bananas.

The name of the place is worth mentioning – Kirinyaga roughly translates to "white peak", because wherever you stand, you can always see the snow-capped top of Mount Kenya. The local climate is unusually humid for Africa. Annual temperatures range between 12-26⁰C, and the rainy season occurs twice – from March to May and from October to December.

Kainamui Farm is located near the town of Ngariama, at an altitude of 1,460m. It processes an average of 550,000kg of coffee a year. Its exceptionally delicious taste is due to the red volcanic soil where the coffee trees grow and the proximity of eucalyptus and macadamia trees. Kainamui has around 1,800 farmers. It is reported that each of them cultivates approximately 200 coffee plants. Membership in Kainamui not only ensures them fair farmgate prices and timely payment of profits but also development and training programs.

Kainamui AA coffee undergoes what is known as a wash after harvest. The red coffee cherries are stripped of their skins and pulpy skins in large water-filled facilities, both by pushing them through special sheets and by subsequent fermentation. The washed coffee acquires delightful fruity notes.

Coffee packaging preview

Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee. It always comes fresh thanks to degassing valve, which releases the gases that occur after roasting. Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
