This fully washed lot is from from Ruiru Mills Estate in Kiambu, Kenya. Ruiru Mills is a 65ha coffee farm first established by British colonists but is now one of 6 estates owned and operated by Sasini, a publicly listed company with a majority Kenyan ownership. Sasini’s estates have long placed an emphasis on equity and community. In the case of the estates’ workers this involves the provision of living quarters, early child education, union membership and guaranteed payment above minimum wage. In collaboration with Olam Specialty and over 30 of our customers, they have also been able to invest further in the local primary school Njenga Karume. This has principally been through the building of a new computer lab to equip students with the IT skillset to maximise their oppotunities in an increasingly digital world. Kiambu has all the ingredients for arabica coffee to flourish: it is close to the equator, has iron rich, semi-volcanic soils, abundant sunshine and consistently high altitudes up to 2,000masl. The cool night time temperatures in these fertile highlands allows cherries to mature slowly, developing the acidity and complexity in the final cup. Information taken from Covoya Speciality Coffee
Once upon a time, in a quaint little town, there were two sisters who shared a common passion for all things coffee.
Along with their families the two sisters created a roastery and now they serve other coffee lovers in their coffee shops, offering unique and complex flavours so the whole community can enjoy and share their exceptional roasts.
All of the arabica coffee beans are sustainably sourced and direct from farm.
