This washed lot from Karimikui Factory in Kirinyaga, Kenya delivers a vibrant, structured cup with hallmark clarity and balance. Grown at 1600-1900 MASL, a blend of Batian, SL28, SL34 and Ruiru 11 contributes bright acidity, depth and layered sweetness. Cherries are carefully sorted, depulped and fermented before being washed and dried slowly on raised beds. The result is a clean, expressive profile showing dark berry intensity, citrus lift and a rounded brown sugar finish - a refined and classic expression of Kenya’s high grown coffees. 

Flavour notes: Blackberry, Lime, Brown Sugar

Origin Story

The Karimikui Factory is part of the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society, a network of smallholder farmers in Kirinyaga on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya. Coffee farming here dates back to the 1950s, with producers cultivating small plots and delivering ripe cherries to centralised washing stations for processing.
Together with neighbouring mills Kii and Kiangoi, Karimikui operates under a cooperative structure focused on quality improvement and long-term sustainability. Through careful processing, shared infrastructure and ongoing support, the cooperative continues to produce coffees that define the clarity, intensity and balance Kenya is known for.

Process & care

Our sourcing philosophy

Every coffee has a story. Every cup connects people. Sourcing coffee is not just about logistics and contracts. It’s about people, patience, and purpose. Every bag of green coffee represents someone’s work, someone’s story, and a shared pursuit of excellence.

Our relationships are built at Origin. We create partnerships built on respect, shared goals, and good coffee. We believe the best coffees come from long-term partnerships. Many of our producers have worked with us for years, refining the characteristics of the coffee we seek.These relationships are built on mutual respect and open communication. Travelling to visit our producing partners is key to nurturing relationships that matter.
Consistency and quality

From origin to roastery, every step is about consistency. Every shipment we receive is cupped and compared against its pre-ship sample to confirm that the coffee matches the quality and profile we expect. It’s a process that demands time and focus, but it’s what ensures every batch of Deluca coffee delivers on flavour and reliability.
