Kenya Kirinyaga Nguguini AA

From Coffee Shrub (importer)- “Nguguini is a green coffee “Factory” located in the Kirinyaga district, just across the border from Nyeri. Factories are basically what we call a wet mill, or washing station, a local station where farmers bring coffee cherry fruit for processing in Kenya. These Factories are cooperatives made up by local coffee farmers in the surrounding villages, most of which have tiny plots of coffee, less than 1 hectare in size. Ngugu-ini was established in 1958 as part of the Kibirigwi Cooperative Society (“FCS”), an umbrella of eight Kirinyaga coops in total, serving more than 7,000 coffee farmers (Ngugu-ini has 1,200 members).

Syrupy sweetness supports tangy accents of tangerine, tamarind, cranberry, and dried cherry. Tart flavors help dial up the acidic impression, and the aftertaste has an aromatic hint of coconut water.”
