The Kayu Coffee Factory is located in the Central Province of Murang'a County, where it was established in 1964, serving nearby coffee producing villages. Currently, the membership of the factory (which serves a similar role to a cooperative) is 1,191 individual farmers.
Coffee processed at Kayu is wet processed with water pumped in from the nearby Kagondo River. After depulping, the coffee is allowed to ferment for 16-18 hours, and is then dried on raised beds for up to two weeks to ensure appropriate moisture content.
This lot from Kayu is all Ruiru 11 varietal, and it's helping us kick off Kenya season with a bang. Punchy, bright, and juicy, we're tasting notes of fruit punch, rainier cherry, and key lime.
Frequently Asked Questions
When Will My Order Ship?
Most orders ship the next business day from when they are placed, unless that is a holiday.
The only exception is any pre-order item, which will ship on the date stated on that item's pre-order page.
Do You Have Recommendations For Brewing?
Yes!
First, we recommend a brewing ratio of about 1:17. So whatever your dose of coffee is for a brew (we recommend weighing your coffee in grams), multiply that number by 17, and use that weight of water to brew.
Second, always try to grind your coffee fresh, directly before you brew. This will significantly impact the flavor.
Lastly, and maybe most important, always use the highest quality water you can. Filtered is always best. Coffee is 98.5% water, so the water you use makes a huge difference.
Any other questions? Just drop us a line.
Is ReAnimator Coffee Organic/Fair Trade?
While some of our coffees may happen to be certified organic or fair trade, we do not specifically look for either of these certifications when sourcing coffees, and do not market them as such.
All of our coffees are bought at fixed prices above the c-market, and 99% of the time we are paying higher prices than the Fair Trade Certified price.
Our sourcing goals are always quality and flavor focused, and we buy from producers and importers we trust to provide us with coffee that fits into our ideology.
