AA, Kamoini Kenya

Kamoini wetmill is part of Othaya Farmers’ Cooperative Society Limited, one of a few washing stations form the coop group based in the heartland of Kukuyu territory, Nyeri. The mill processes coffee cherries sourced from over 719 farmers. The total farmed area is 310.9 acres with individual trees yielding between 5 and 10kg of cherries per season.

The coffee is wet processed, where the fully ripe cherries are: Pulped, fermented for 12 – 48 hours (depending on climatic conditions), washed and dried slowly over 2 – 3 weeks on raised African beds until the moisture content is reduced to 10-12%.

The coffee is then processed at Othaya dry mill where it is rested in parchment for 3 weeks before being hulled, cleaned and graded by bean size. Finally, the coffee is carefully handpicked before being exported from Mombasa. Before export the coffee is cupped by the co-op.

Nyeri County has cool temperatures and fertile central highlands, lying between the Eastern base of the Aberdare (Nyandarua) Range, which forms part of the Eastern end of the Great Rift Valley, and the Western slopes of Mt. Kenya. The combination of fertile soil, seasonal rainfall and high altitude provide the ideal climate for coffees characterised by high acidity, full body and ripe fruit flavours. Most coffees from Nyeri develop and mature slowly producing extra hard beans. This quality is also evident in the cup.
