Kenya Kirinyaga – AA | Origem Única
A Fazenda de café Kiunyu está localizada na zona do chá do condado de Kirinyaga. Fundada na década de 1960 Kiunyu e Kabingara, são as duas fazendas da Karithathi F.C.S. As cerejas são entregues pelos fazendeiros das aldeias vizinhas de Kagumoini, Kianduma, Kiambuuku, Kiambatha, Gatura e Kiamuki.
As principais variedades de café cultivadas são SL 34 e Ruiru 11 e SL 34 respondendo por 99% de todo o café produzido nesta Fazenda. A maioria dos agricultores de Kirinyaga do Norte prefere o cultivo do chá em vez de café, que costuma representar taxas de produção mais baixas. A CMS, com a ajuda da administração de cooperativas, tem como objetivo sensibilizar os agricultores para os retornos potenciais do café bem cultivado e está a ajudar na formação de boas práticas agronômicas específicas do café.
A água usada durante o processo vem do Rio Karithathi para os tanques do reservatório.
O café no Kenya é normalmente rastreável até à fazenda ou moinho: a maioria dos agricultores possui entre 1/8 e 1/4 de hectare e, muitas vezes, cultiva outras culturas além do café, o que significa que dependem de uma unidade de processamento central para venda e processamento de seu café. Os produtores entregam as cereja de café onde a cooperativa seleciona, pesa e efetua o pagamento pela entrega.

Kiunyu Coffee Factory is located deep within the tea-zone of Kirinyaga County. Established in the 1960s Kiunyu and Kabingara, the two factories of the Karithathi F.C.S. are delivered cherry from farmers in and around the villages of Kagumoini, Kianduma, Kiambuuku, Kiambatha, Gatura and Kiamuki.
The main varieties of coffee grown here are SL 34 and Ruiru 11, with SL 34 accounting for 99% of all coffee produced from this factory. As is the situation in most of North Kirinyaga, most farmers in the area favor growing tea over coffee which accounts for often lower production rates. CMS with the aid of Co-op management are aiming to educate farmers on the potential returns of well grown coffee and are assisting with training in coffee specific agronomic practices.
Water used during process comes from the Karithathi River to reservoir tanks. It's re-circulated twice before taking a final load of cherry skin & pulp to the pulp tower then is dropped to soak tanks where it slowly rejoins the water table, cleaned of most impurities.
Coffee in Kenya is typically traceable down to the factory, or mill level: Most farmers own between 1/8 to 1/4 of a hectare, and often grow crops other than coffee as well, which means they rely on a central processing unit for sale and processing of their coffee. Producers deliver in cherry form to a factory, where the cooperative will sort, weigh, and issue payment for the delivery. The coffee is then blended with the rest of the day's deliveries and goes on to be processed. Because of this system, which serves many hundreds to several thoughts of smallholder farmers per factory, there is limited
traceability down to the individual producers whose coffee comprises the lots.
