Story
A vibrant hibiscus note introduces layers of fruit and florality, giving way to delicate vanilla blossom and the crisp, concentrated brightness of dried kiwi. The lush body provides a rich counterpoint to the vibrant acidity, followed by a long, expressive finish.
Nestled in Ngandori East, Mutunduri, Embu County, Kenya’s renowned Mount Kenya coffee-growing region, the Riangagi Cooperative Society thrives at an elevation of 1,600 meters above sea level. Rich volcanic soils and an ideal climate nurture the cooperative, resulting in vibrant, high-quality washed coffees.
Established in 1976, the Riangagi Cooperative Society comprises approximately 2,500 smallholder farmers, predominantly women. Their deep expertise in coffee cultivation and processing shines through in the complex and expressive coffees they produce. Beyond their coffee-producing roles, these women actively manage their households and support their families and communities.
Most Riangagi farmers cultivate small plots averaging approximately 0.2 hectares, with coffee serving as their primary source of income. To diversify their crops and enhance food security, they also grow bananas, beans, potatoes, avocados, macadamia nuts, and mangoes. This approach ensures nutritious food for their families while providing additional income sources beyond coffee.
Through generations of agricultural knowledge and a thoughtful approach to diversified farming, the producers of Riangagi continue to cultivate exceptional coffees while safeguarding the long-term sustainability of their farms, families, and the surrounding community.
