    Roaster’s Notes
    Rukira is a coffee factory in Nyeri that has been operating since 1979. Over 500 smallholder farms contributed to this lot as part of the Othaya Farmer’s Cooperative Society. Nyeri has been facing many hardships since local government stepped in to control coffee exports in 2014. Thankfully, Rukira has been consistently operating to the highest standards, and despite these hardships, has been producing amazing coffees every year.
