Kanguya Factory
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
Kanguya Factory is located in Murang'a County, a region renowned for its high-altitude coffee production. The facility operates as a central processing hub for hundreds of local smallholder farmers who deliver their selectively handpicked cherries to the site. The factory supports these producers by providing essential agricultural resources, including coffee seedlings, technical training, and ongoing support to improve farm productivity and quality.
Challenges
The factory manages the complexities of post-harvest processing, including rigorous quality control and the labor-intensive requirements of honey-processing methods that involve frequent hand-turning of cherries on raised beds.
Innovations
Alongside Kenya's established washed practice, Kanguya has produced honey lots in which depulped coffee is dried with mucilage attached on raised beds.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
