Over 800 smallholders deliver their ripest cherries to the Kabingara Factory, a washing station owned by the local cooperative. Our AB lot is juicy and sweet, with bright notes of currant and cranberry balanced by smooth nougat. The slightly smaller AB grade beans are packed with flavour, bringing delicious depth of flavour when roasted for espresso.

    THE CUP

    We love coffees from Kabingara for their delicious, fruit-forward character. Expect juicy currant, cranberry, and apple. Defined acidity is balanced by the sweetness of caramel and nougat. The long, creamy finish is reminiscent of rooibos tea.

    ABOUT THE FARM

    Across the fertile region of Kirinyaga, over 800 farmers cultivate small coffee farms of approximately 250 to 350 trees. With an altitude of around 1750 meters, warm days and cool nights help nurture sweet, dense coffee cherries, delivering the wonderful character that lets Kenyan coffee stand apart.

    The washing station is owned and operated by Karithathi Farmers Cooperative Society. Farmers receive technical agronomic support from our export partner Sucafina Kenya, with the goal of minimising additions to the soil whilst maximising yield and quality.

    THE PROCESS

    Smallholders selectively handpick ripe, red cherry and deliver it to Kabingara Factory. At the factory, the Cherry Clerk oversees meticulous visual sorting and floating and accepts only dense, ripe cherry.

    The cherries are then pulped and fermented. Following fermentation, coffee is washed in clean water and laid to dry on raised beds. Workers rake parchment frequently to ensure even drying. They cover drying parchment during the hottest time of day, to maintain slow, even drying and at night, to shelter parchment from moisture. It takes an average of 7 to 14 days for parchment to dry.
