Founded in 1964, the Ichamama factory in Kenya’s Karuthi region draws in hundreds of smallholder farmers each year to deliver their fresh coffee cherry. The area’s rich, red volcanic soils and abundant freshwater sources ensure a saturated cup bursting with luxurious cherry and brown butter flavors. To the south of Mt. Kenya, along the foothills that roll well below its majestic peak, lie the regions where some of our favorite coffees in all of Kenya are grown and processed. These lands are fertile with vibrant volcanic red-clay soils, enriched by a network of freshwater streams. Nyeri county, where the Ichamama factory is stationed, is especially well known for producing coffees of outstanding quality.

    I loved the tart, grapefruit kick in this cup. This aroma was out of this world, such a pleasant experience.
