THE BARN - Kamwangi AB {Filter} | Kenya - Washed - SL28, SL34

Our Kenyan lots really flew of the shelves this season, so we were excited to source this coffee from the final harvest of 2025. From Kirinyaga, Kamwangi AB is sweet and aromatic.

This AB has superb clarity, with bright notes of red currant and plum in the cup. The sweetness is gently syrupy, like raisin or candied orange. As it cools, rose hip shows a touch of herbal elegance.

This coffee has been processed at the Kamwangi Factory, belonging to the New Ngariama Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga, Central Kenya. Among the three wet mills under the cooperative, Kamwangi is one. It serves approximately 1800 farmers, although not all are currently active. These farmers primarily grow SL 34 (90%), along with SL28, K7, and Ruiru 11 varieties, at altitudes ranging from 1500 to 1800 metres above sea level. The factory is closest to the town of Embu. 

Processing is done with Fresh River Water. The same water is recycled during the day through a recycling process enabling them to significantly reduce water consumption. They are Rainforest Alliance certified, and have established soaking pits for waste water treatment.
