The Kangocho factory is located at the entrance of the Karatina town, which is on the slopes of Mount Kenya right in the heart of Nyeri County. Ripe cherries delivered to this factory are processed on the same delivery day and graded by density before undergoing fermentation. After washing and grading the coffees a second time, the coffees are soaked under clean water from the Gatomboya stream and then dried on African raised beds for up to 21 days. This factory focuses on implementing environmental-friendly practices like the reusing of water for parchment cleaning. Kangocho is a Kikuyu word meaning “a place with corners” because of the major corners and beds of the ways from the lower to the higher point of the hill that the residence used and named it the hill of corners.

This coffee offers a delicate profile with a smooth, clean mouthfeel and pleasant sweet acidity. Its balanced nature makes it a delightful choice for any time of day. So addictive, many find themselves enjoying several cups throughout the day. Our light-roasted Kenya AA is also wonderful as an espresso, so don’t hesitate to explore its unique flavors!
