Ruera Estate

Description

The Kamwangi Factory (wash station) is one of three wet mills of the New Ngariama Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga in Central Kenya. They have proven to be very consistent in quality over the last years, and have great systems for traceability and quality control.

They are Rainforest Alliance certified, and have established soaking pits for waste water treatment. Kamwangi collects cherries from about 1000 smallholders with an average of 0,4 hectares of coffees, about 250 trees each. Fermentation is done with fresh river water which is then recycled during the day through a recycling process enabling them to significantly reduce water consumption.

The farmers under the New Ngariama Cooperative in Kirinyaga are located on the slopes of Mount Kenya. These coffees are world renowned for their intense, complex, and flavour-dense cup profiles.

This is our third year working with Nordic Approach and Kamwangi and we couldn’t be more excited to bring these delicious coffees to South Africa!
