Iria‑Ini Kiamwangi Washed, from Nyeri, Kenya
The Iria‑Ini Kiamwangi Washed lot comes from the Kiamwangi Factory, one of three washing stations operated by the Iria‑Ini Farmers’ Cooperative Society (FCS) in Mathira Constituency, Nyeri County, Kenya. The factory serves hundreds of smallholder farmers, some with as few as 100 coffee trees, who deliver their cherries on foot, or motorcycle (boda boda). The farms sit between 1,700 and 1,900 meters above sea level, and the lot is composed of SL28, SL34, Ruiru II, and Batian varieties.
Once ripe cherries arrive at Kiamwangi Factory, they are sorted, depulped, and undergo a 36‑hour dry fermentation. The coffee is then thoroughly washed with fresh water and sun‑dried on raised beds for 14 to 21 days, with careful turning and hand‑sorting to ensure consistency.
Place of Milk, Land of Quality
Iria‑Ini means “place of milk” in the local language, a name that speaks to the region’s fertility and agricultural abundance. Kiamwangi Factory is one of the cooperative washing stations supported by Kamavindi Coffee Lab. Kamavindi works with Iria‑Ini FCS to train producers on processing and post‑harvest practices, helping them access direct international markets. The cooperative’s three factories—Kiamwangi, Kamunyaka, and Miiri—are named after the villages where they are located.
Kamavindi Coffee is a family‑run business in Embu, Kenya, founded in 1958 and now operating its own training center and cupping lab. Through their Kamavindi Coffee Lab initiative, they train cooperative societies like Iria‑Ini FCS on processing and post‑harvest practices, helping them connect directly to international buyers. Their work impacts thousands of farmers across the Mount Kenya region.
We began working with Kamavindi in 2026, drawn by their commitment to transparency, quality, and community education, and we are excited to keep bringing their coffees.
