Kamwangi AA

The Kamwangi Coffee Factory is located in the north east corner of Kirinyaga County, Kenya. It is one of three Factories managed by the New Ngariama Farmers Co-operative Society. This was the second factory established by the Co-op. Kainamui being the original. With increasing volume pressure on both Kamwangi and Kainamui the Co-op established and began processing at their third Factory, Kiamugumo. Kirinyaga County, in Kenya’s Central highlands, is home to the slopes and foothills of Mount Kenya. Many rivers run through the region and the soil is rich and volcanic. It provides smallholders and cooperatives with the resources to grow and process some of Kenya’s most fruity coffees. Due to the cool temperatures at altitude, particularly at night time, coffees from Kenya’s central highlands tend develop and mature slowly producing very dense, hard beans high in acidity and complexity.
