Cultivated by passionate smallholders, this coffee thrives at altitudes between 1,600 and 1,800MASL. The unique climate and rich soil contribute to its distinguished flavour profile. The farmers in the area grow a variety of Ruiru 11, SL28, and SL34, which undergo a fully washed process, enhancing their characteristic notes of bright florals and citrus.

Sustainability is at the heart of Kahunyo AA's cultivation. Farmers practice eco-friendly methods, supported by agronomic expertise, ensuring that each bean not only represents the pinnacle of quality but also a commitment to environmental stewardship. This support extends to every aspect of production, from selective handpicking of cherries to their careful processing.

The result is a coffee that tells a tale of tradition, innovation, and community. Kahunyo AA's unique profile is a testament to the dedication of Murang'a's farmers, who blend age-old techniques with modern sustainability practices.
