Kirinyaga, Kenya
Known for producing exceptional microlots from over 200 washing stations, Kirinyaga is home to some of Arabica Trading House's most sought after SL-28, SL-34, Batian and Ruiru 11 coffees.
Our Kenyan coffees are fully traceable, most of which are produced by smallholder farmers. Each farmers total volume might only be a few bags, thus hundreds of farmers living in the same sub-region are likely members of a Farmer Cooperative Society(FCS). Coffee cherry is delivered to FCSs which markets and sells coffees on the smallholder behalf.

Producer Focus: Daterra Coffee
Daterra farms are in the city of Patrocínio,(Minas Gerais). They are the oldest and among the best coffee producing regions in the country. All plantations are located between 900 and 1,200 meters above sea level where wind, sun and soil are exceptional for Arabica production. The diverse altitudes and microclimates create conditions that will surprise the palate with a large range of flavors from velvet and chocolate to bright-flowery profiles.
