Description: Karundu Factory is part of the Rugi Farmers Cooperative Society, formed in 2005, which includes eight factories and serves approximately 4,500 members, with around 600 delivering to Karundu. The name "Karundu" is Kikuyu for “small shrubs.” Nyeri County, where the factory is based, is located about 150 kilometers from Nairobi. The nearby Wajee Camp offers visitors a chance to experience local wildlife, including the endangered Hinde’s Babbler bird, enjoy traditional Kikuyu cuisine, and take in stunning views of Mount Kenya.
Kenyan green coffee beans are renowned for their bold, fruit-forward flavors and complex acidity. This coffee was grown in red volcanic soil at around 1,850 masl, slowly ripening at high altitudes in cool temperatures. The dominant varieties are Kenya’s signature SL-28 and SL-34, developed by Scott Agricultural Laboratories (hence, SL) in the 1930s for their drought resistance, exceptional cup quality, and high yield at elevated altitudes.
