Kii AA - Kenya
Bergamot | Cola | Honey
A classic Kenyan profile, with deeper undertones.
Following washing, the parchment is soaked in clean water before being transferred to raised drying tables. The coffee is first spread in thin layers to remove excess moisture, then dried more slowly over several days. This careful processing, combined with the region’s altitude and fertile soils, helps produce the bright acidity, structured sweetness, and complex fruit character for which coffees from Kirinyaga are known for.
Ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked by smallholder farmers and delivered to Kii for processing. After arrival, the cherries are pulped, graded, fermented, and finally washed.

Kii is one of three factories operated by the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society, alongside Kiangoi and Karimikui. Established in 1953, the cooperative represents thousands of smallholder members, each typically farming around one hectare of land, where coffee is often grown alongside crops for household use. The area is known for its rich red volcanic soils, high altitudes, and favourable rainfall, all of which contribute to excellent conditions for coffee production.
