Established in 1963 on the slopes of Mount Kenya, the Kainamui factory is located in the Ngariama region of central Kenya, about 140km north of Nairobi. Mount Kenya, an extinct volcano, is the second-highest snow-capped peak in Africa, and its proximity to the farms in Kirinyaga plays a major role in the coffee's development. Glacier-fed rivers help maintain cool temperatures year round, typically ranging between 13 and 25 C. 

With just 2,000 members in the factory, most Kainamui farms are quite small, with an average of just 200 trees each. Coffees are shaded and surrounded by native flora such as false banana, macadamia, and Grevillea, or spider flower trees. 

The 'AA' in AA Kainamui describes the size of the coffee beans selected -- AA grade coffees feature exclusively the most valuable and largest beans picked during sorting and separation. 

AA Kainamui offers a beautifully bright and tropical cup, with moderate to high acidity and sweet, developed notes of peach and mango. The fruit-forward, candy-like notes are well showcased in a pourover.
