Karimikui AA - Kenya

Highlights

“Karimikui factory sits at 1,650 m in Kirinyaga, an area where tea is grown more widely than coffee, and delivers its cherry through the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society, one of Kenya's most consistent performing co-ops. Hundreds of smallholders bring ripe cherry to the station each year and the factory team sorts it by hand before pulping, dry-fermenting in tanks, washing in clean channels and soaking again before drying. September roasts it light. The cup is tart and sweet with red currant and strawberry over a grapefruit-like acidity and a citric finish.”
