Kiawamururu 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
Kiawamururu Factory is a coffee washing station located in the Nyeri County of Kenya. It operates under the Njimbi CBO and serves approximately 600 registered smallholder members who collectively farm about 182 hectares of land.
Challenges
The factory operates in a region where coffee production faces pressures from price instability and land-use changes, common to the broader Kenyan coffee sector.
Innovations
The factory utilizes traditional Kenyan processing techniques, including depulping, fermentation for approximately 24 hours, density sorting in channels, overnight soaking, and drying 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.
