This year's Kenya Kainamui is a delicious and extremely limited lot from the Kirinyaga region. This 2021 Kainamui lot averaged a cupping score of an 88-89, making it the highest scoring coffee we have roasted to date. We think this coffee is truly exceptional and we are excited to share it with you.
A note from our coffee source:
"We intentionally selected the AB late from the week 11 out-turn from Kainamui's 2021 harvest because it perfectly represents our favorite Kenyan characteristics: dynamic, sweet and fruity, with a beautifully crisp acidity. Notes of tropical fruit, cherry and purple plum create a fruit salad effect, making this one heck of a drip coffee."
"This big, juicy Kenyan is from the Kainamui Factory, located in the Kirinyaga District. Nestled on the slopes of Mt. Kenya, the Kainamui Factory has around 1,800 members, 1,100 of whom are men and 700 whom are women. The Factory supports its members by providing them with advances for school fees, farm support and other emergency funds."

Access to clean drinking water is essential to life. Without it, families walk for miles to get water which makes them sick, spend resources on medication and struggle to get their kids in school. Righty now, approximately 771 million or 1 out of every 10 people do not have access to safe water.
