Kenya Kainamui

The Kainamui features candy-like notes of pomegranate juice and purple grape, with a syrupy, crisp acidity.

Coffee Details

This big, juicy Kenyan is from the Kainamui Factory, located in the Kirinyaga District. We have worked with Kainamui in the past, winning a Good Food Award in for our roast of the 2019 harvest. We are especially excited for this year's harvest because it perfectly represents our favorite Kenyan characteristics: dynamic, sweet and fruity, with a beautifully crisp acidity. 

Nestled on the slopes of Mt. Kenya, the Kainamui Factory has around 1,800 members, 1,100 of whom are men and 700 whom are women. The Factory supports its members by providing them with advances for school fees, farm support and other emergency funds.

Brew Recipes

Sourced from the Kirinyaga District, the Kenya Kainamui represents the meticulous processing standards of the Kainamui Factory. Coffees from this region are frequently celebrated for their vibrant acidity and complex, layered profiles. When evaluating such distinct offerings, roasters often look for clarity and intensity, which is reflected in the specific profile curated by Case Coffee Roasters. Their selection highlights notes of pomegranate juice and purple grape, providing a bright, fruit-forward experience that stands out in the cup.

For those looking to better articulate these specific characteristics, referencing a flavor wheel can be an invaluable tool. While Kenyan coffees are widely recognized for their characteristic brightness and deep, wine-like qualities, the Kainamui lot offers a focused expression of these regional traits. By emphasizing the unique terroir of the Kirinyaga District, this coffee serves as a compelling example of the precision and care applied by the producers at the Kainamui Factory.
