Meet the Producer

The Ndaro-ini washing station was established in 1984 by a group of passionate farmers determined to showcase their coffee independently. Today, it brings together around 700 smallholder members, each cultivating less than one hectare at the foothills of Mount Kenya.

Cherries are handpicked, carefully sorted, fermented and washed in clean spring water, then slowly dried on raised African beds.

This meticulous, time-honoured process produces coffees of exceptional purity — precise, vibrant, and elegantly structured in the cup.

Origin

The Ndaro-ini Coffee Factory lies in the Nyeri region, at the heart of Kenya’s central highlands. This terroir is renowned for producing some of the country’s most expressive coffees, thanks to its rich volcanic soils and altitudes ranging from 1,700 to 1,900 meters.

Here, the climate is mild, the nights are cool, and rainfall is consistent — perfect conditions for slow cherry maturation, resulting in bright acidity and precise fruity aromas.

Kenya AA Ndaro-ini embodies this terroir beautifully: an elegant, vibrant and deep coffee that captures the true essence of the Kenyan style.
