Prolog – Kenya – Kigari AA

Description

Our relationship with Kigari spans three years, with coffee purchased in 2022, 2023 and 2026. Based in the highlands of Meru County, Kenya, Kigari brings together farmers across four wet mills, producing exceptional coffee at 1,600–1,900 masl. The cooperative is deeply committed to its farmers, providing access to pre-financing, farm inputs on credit, school-fee support and emergency funds, practical support that helps farming families invest in their futures and sustain coffee production year after year.

Kigari’s impact extends beyond the cup. The cooperative encourages farmers to integrate Grevillea and macadamia trees into their coffee farms, providing shade while supporting environmental conservation, and promotes diversified farming with bananas and maize.

Kigari has a classic Kenyan character with a smooth everlasting acidity and notes of red fruit and pomegranate.
