We’re very excited to offer this outstanding coffee from Kenya!
Roasted on the light end of the spectrum, we’ve discovered a symphony of flavor notes when we grind coarsely and use our Moccamaster. 900 microns or so on the grind, 30g of coffee with 500ml of water, and our filter is always the Melitta #4 unbleached.
Oftentimes a cup with so much activity can be unbalanced. That’s not the case here. These notes are delicately layered, and evolve elegantly as the coffee cools. My espresso shots were absolutely stellar. Deep, dark chocolate, berry cobbler, and marshmallow. Gadzooks!
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.
