Coffee Origins
The Kamwangi Factory (wash station) is one of three wet mills of the New Ngariama Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga in Central Kenya. They have proven to be very consistent in quality over the last years, and have great systems for traceability and quality control.
They are Rainforest Alliance certified, and have established soaking pits for waste water treatment. Kamwangi collects cherries from about 1000 smallholders with an average of 0,4 hectares of coffees, about 250 trees each. Fermentation is done with fresh river water which is then recycled during the day through a recycling process enabling them to significantly reduce water consumption.
The farmers under the New Ngariama Cooperative in Kirinyaga are located on the slopes of Mount Kenya. These coffees are world renowned for their intense, complex, and flavour-dense cup profiles.
This is our 4th year working with Nordic Approach and Kamwangi and we couldn’t be more excited to bring these delicious coffees to South Africa!

Really juicy, predominantly tomatoey acidity, quite different to last years batch if I remember correctly.

I've really enjoyed the coffee. It's very easy to drink, smooth on the palette and the notes of cherry and blueberry are present both in the smell and taste of the coffee. It's not often I enjoy coffee without milk, but this is one of those that tastes good served black. Would definitely purchase again!
FAQs
Single origins: Our roast style and green coffee preference suits both filter and espresso very well.
Each coffee with present different characteristics you may prefer through a specific brew method.
For example Dario loves washed Kenyan’s through the AeroPress, but they taste great as espresso and through the V60.
Blends: Designed with espresso in mind but Dreamer tastes great in the plunger. It’s all down to personal preference!
