KENYA KAYU AB
RM29.00 MYR - RM190.00 MYR
With nearly 700,000 coffee producers, Kenya stands out as a coffee-producing gem in East Africa. About 70% of them are smallholders. In the Murang’a County, nestled along the Aberdare Range's slopes, you'll find the Kayu Factory, where 1,931 smallholders from the New Kiriti Farmers Co-operative Society contribute their cherries.
At an elevation of 1,650 meters, this region boasts nutrient-rich, red soils and ideal temperatures for slow cherry maturation. Smallholders pick their cherries during two harvests—March to May and October to December. After reaching the factory, cherries are pulped and fermented, promoting their flavor development. The coffee dries on raised tables under the sun.
Sustainability matters here. Wastewater from processing returns to the soil via soak pits, avoiding environmental harm. The Kayu Factory thrives on Ruiru 11 cherries, developed to combat coffee diseases.
Kenya's grading system reflects screen size, not cup quality. The AA grade equates to screen size 17 or 18. This distinction, while affecting auction prices, doesn't necessarily determine cup quality.
The Kayu Factory epitomizes smallholders' dedication and the distinctive coffee landscape in Kenya—a country where coffee shines in its own East African brilliance.
We believe coffee are best enjoyed at its peak flavours
We do a consistent weekly roast to ensure we can provide you with the freshest coffee. In addition to that, we are committed to provide coffee that are within 14 days of the roast date.
The Notorious FR15-I
All our coffee beans are roasted on the FROCO FR15-I. A machine that gives us a ton of information like the ability to track temperatures of the beans, drum, and airflow just to name a few. This means we obtain and are able to monitor with a lot of information to ensure we can roast coffee with a high level of consistency.
A tribe called fresh
We pack our whole beans coffee and ground coffee in a 250g airtight packaging. With a smaller packaging, it'll help to keep the coffee fresh and it prevents exposing a large amount of coffee to the environment which can change the flavours of the coffee.
True to Origin
We don't use any flavourings in our products/coffee. What you see on the packaging and our website are taste notes, our ways of depicting nuances of flavours in the coffee beans. So don't worry if you don't get the taste notes, as every taste buds bring a slightly different outcome.
