Description

Kenya Ichamama was a standout on the cupping table. Notes of Kiwi, creamsicle, and papaya make this a not-so-standard tomato note in Kenya.

This coffee is sourced from family-owned farms located on the southeastern slopes of the Aberdares mountain ranges in Nyeri County, Kenya. Farmers deliver their harvested cherry to be processed at the Ichamama Factory (wet mill), which is managed by the Othaya Farmers Co-operative Society. Cooperative members generally cultivate around 250 coffee trees on half-acre plots intercropped with Bananas, Grevillea, and Macadamia trees.
