Ndiara Washing Station

Description

This delightfully round, nutty coffee from Kenya opens with aromas of peach, brown sugar, and yellow plum. We noted flavors of peach, cocoa powder, and marzipan in the cup alongside sour cherry acidity. The finish is slightly herbal, with tones of sage, Brazil nut, and navel orange.

The Story

Ndiara Washing Station serves around 400 active members from Ndiara village itself, as well as the neighboring villages of Kagumoini, Kagioni, Mathioya, Kiogini, and Kiriani.

A member of the larger Kiru Farmers Cooperative Society, the station started operations in 1999, making steady improvements to infrastructure—namely pulpers, drying beds, and water purification—with the rest of the premiums they earn through quality going back to members.
