About the Product

Rung'eto Kiangoi AA

The Kiangoi Factory is situated in Kirinyaga, Central Kenya, specifically in the Ngariama location of Gichugu Division near Embu town. Established in the 1960s, it occupies a 7-acre plot of land, serving the Kiangoro and Karinga Villages. The area is predominantly covered in native trees, protected by the local community. Upon arrival, the cherries are meticulously sorted by the factory team to ensure only the ripest make it into production. The number of casual staff at the factory varies depending on the crop harvest, with approximately 20 employed during peak seasons and around 3 during off-peak periods. Permanent staff handle tasks like weighing coffee, selecting and grading it, paying farmers, and addressing their needs. The Kiangoi Factory is Fairtrade certified.
