About: Kii Coffee Factory has been at the heart of Kirinyaga coffee growing since 1968, serving almost 4,000 farming families across the villages surrounding Ngariama. Set among the region's rich red soils and moderate climate, the factory produces predominantly SL28 and SL34, varieties that have earned Kenya its reputation for exceptional quality.
This lot is graded AA, a classification based on bean size rather than cup quality. AA beans are screened through a larger sieve, producing a more uniform lot for roasting. While larger beans do not automatically mean better coffee, careful cultivation, processing and sorting often see many of Kenya's finest lots achieve this grade.
Beyond processing, Rungeto Farmers Co-operative Society supports its members with agronomy training, access to farm inputs and pre-financing for school fees, emergencies and seasonal farm expenses. Continued investment in equipment and farmer services reflects a long-term commitment to both coffee quality and the livelihoods of the community behind each harvest.
