The Kiamutuira farm, where this Kenyan specialty coffee is produced, is located in the east of Kirinyaga district, in the Mount Kenya region at an altitude of 1,570 m. It belongs to the Mutira Farmers' Cooperative, established in 1951, then registered by the government in 1952. Belonging to the Mutira Farmers' Cooperative, established in 1951 and subsequently registered by the government in 1954, it is one of the highest quality natural coffee farms in the African country. The area experiences moderate bimodal rainfall and temperatures of 13-24°C throughout the year. The main Kenyan coffee varieties grown here are SL34 and Ruiru 11, with SL34 representing 99% of all coffee production in the area. Most farmers in the area are tea growers, and to a lesser extent coffee growers.
After harvest, the coffee berry is delivered to the factory, where it undergoes a fully washed or wet processing method. Water is pumped from the Karithathi River to the storage tanks to separate and recirculate the pulp. After separating the pulp, the coffee is dry fermented overnight before being washed, then soaked for 24 hours and housed on raised African beds for drying and grading. This yields Kenya Kiamutuira, one of the most prized Kenyan specialty coffees in Africa, notable for its full flavor on the palate, full of nuances that enhance the phosphoric acidity without neglecting the sweet notes.
