What Kurasu wants to convey

For all you Kenya lovers, the wait is over.

We are releasing a fresh new crop of Kenyans.

Last year we had two types, AB, but this year it's AA.

These AB and AA refer to the screen size of the beans, in other words, simply their size.

The order from largest to smallest is AA>AB>C.

AAs are often juicy and powerful, while ABs are often delicate and complex, but this Musingini AA is not only juicy and powerful, but also complex.

As it cools, it shows many different faces, from a juicy orange impression to a rich black currant flavor.

As you can imagine, Kenya also goes well with iced coffee. Be sure to try it this summer.

Importer's comments

The RWANA Producers Association's refinery, Msingini Factory, was established in 1968.

The villages around the factory are Kieni, Gasiongo, Kiaragana and Kariko, and currently have 2,000 farmers.

The factory is run by seven full-time staff members and a factory manager. The main crop is grown from October to December, and the sub-crop is grown from April to June. The Msingini Factory is located in the Kirinyaga region in central Kenya.

The soil and climate are suitable for growing coffee, with temperatures ranging from approximately 13°C to 24°C throughout the year.

The coffee cherries harvested by the farmers are transported to the refinery, where they are sorted while still in the cherries state, then the pulp is removed, graded, fermented, and dried on African beds.

The cooperative sets aside a savings account in addition to cherry payments, and has a system in place that allows members to pull funds from the savings when an emergency arises, such as for school fees or farm expenses.

Also, with growing awareness of environmental conservation, the organization has previously undertaken wastewater treatment initiatives and is currently encouraging member farmers to plant trees.
