The Kaga Processing Factory

Established in 1968, the Kaga Processing Factory is located near the small town of Muranga in Kenya. It currently occupies approximately eight acres and maintains cooperative relationships with several Kenyan farmer cooperatives: Mugoiri, Mogoiri, Mikaya, and Moigiri, involving around 740 farmers. The processing factory sits at an altitude of approximately 1,720 meters, on red volcanic soil. The area receives 1,300mm of rainfall annually, with temperatures ranging from 13-24°C throughout the year. All affiliated farmers have received training from the Kenya Agricultural Authority and maintain strict standards in fertilization and cultivation. Agricultural experts also provide professional guidance to farmers on a regular basis.

Kenya Dormans PB Peaberry

• Country: Kenya
• Region: Nyeri
• Altitude: Approximately 1,800 meters
• Processing Method: Washed
• Varieties: SL28, SL34

Flavor Description

The wet aroma carries notes of vanilla, berries, and Burgundy red wine.

The flavors are diverse, rich, complex, full-bodied, and multi-layered.

Knowledge Point

Coffee flower ovaries contain two ovules. Because of self-pollination, the pollination rate is extremely high. Typically both ovules are successfully pollinated and develop into coffee cherries containing two seeds, known as flat beans.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

For that crisp, fruit-driven Kenya character, FrontStreet Coffee's Kenya Cherry Tomato comes from the Sika region, grown at 1550-1750 meters from SL28 and SL34 and given an intense 72-hour double washed fermentation, then roasted light to protect its lively acidity. Expect cherry tomato and black plum up front, a fuller mid-palate with snow pear and black plum, and a clean, long finish of brown sugar and green tea. It shines as a pour-over and is especially rewarding as a cold brew, where the fruit reads sweet and refreshing.
