The story behind the cup
The producer
The Kamwangi Coffee Factory is one of three coffee factories, located in the Kirinyaga district, operated by the New Ngariama Cooperative Society. It sits on the slopes of Mount Kenya in the agriculturally rich Central Province at 1,610m above sea level.
New Ngariama was originally part of a much larger society called Ngariama, which was established in the 1950s. This society was split up into smaller cooperatives, and New Ngariama is one of them.
The coffee
Around 500 members deliver coffee to Kamwangi. They have on average of 3 – 5 hectares of coffee (around 1,500–2,000 trees) planted at 1,550–1,650 meters above sea level.
