Peach, Lime Zest, Caramelized Sugar

 

The Kangocho factory, part of Gikanda FCS, is located near Karatina on Mt. Kenya’s foothills. It is entirely member-owned and overseen by an elected council. It benefits from mineral-rich soil and reliable rainfall, which are ideal for coffee.

Farmers deliver ripe cherries, which are de-pulped with Ragati river water, fermented overnight, washed, and dried on raised beds. Kangocho supports its 781 farmers with a field supervisory committee, agronomy, welfare programs like school fee loans and medical aid, and sustainable farming training.

Kangocho impressed on the cupping table with its mellow tart acidity and delicate fruit notes. We enjoyed the gentle sweetness of peach, a medium tartness of lime zest, and the depth and richness of caramelized sugar.

PARTNERSHIP & REGION

In the foothills of Mt. Kenya, near Karatina, stands the Kangocho factory, a vital part of the Gikanda FCS. This entirely member-owned facility, managed by an elected council, flourishes thanks to the region’s mineral-rich soil and consistent rainfall, perfect for growing exceptional coffee. Ripe cherries, delivered by local farmers, undergo a meticulous process: they are de-pulped using Ragati river water, fermented overnight, washed, and then sun-dried on raised beds. Beyond processing, Kangocho is dedicated to its 781 farmers, providing essential support through a field supervisory committee, agronomy guidance, welfare programs including school fee loans and medical aid, and training in sustainable farming practices.
