Established in 1952, Kiruru Coffee Factory is a historic processing station located in the Kiriaini sub-location of Murang’a County. Uniquely situated within a traditional tea-growing zone, the factory sits at 1,800 metres above sea level and serves over 1,100 smallholder farmers from nearby villages. These producers cultivate coffee in deep, red volcanic soils alongside crops like macadamia and tea, benefiting from the region's moderate temperatures and reliable rainfall.

The processing at Kiruru is rigorous: after hand-picking and pre-sorting to remove unripe fruit, the cherries are pulped and soaked to ferment. The beans are then washed and graded in water channels—where the densest, sweetest beans sink to the bottom—before being dried on raised tables. This careful attention to detail produces a cup with the distinct structure and intensity that Murang'a is celebrated for.

Whole beans or pre-ground?

Coffee deteriorates much faster once it is ground, making whole beans the ideal way to purchase coffee. If you don't have a grinder though, all good!
