Kii AB | Kenya

 About Kii AB 

Kenya mainly produces fully washed coffees, and is considered by many as the world’s number one quality producer. There are more than 700,000 coffee farmers (smallholders) representing about 55% of the production. The rest is produced mostly by large farms known as Estates.

The Kii Factory (wet mill) is one of three wet mills of the Rungeto Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga in Central Kenya. We have been buying coffee from the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative since 2016. The Factory is Fairtrade certified. The Chairman of this society has implemented various quality-focused processes throughout all the factories of the Rungeto FCS. For example he installed tiles on all the washing channels and fermentation tanks. Moreover, the water for the processing is being reused.

The farmer members are all located on the slopes of Mount Kenya which, together with the neighbouring region Nyeri, is known for its intense, complex, and flavour-dense coffees.
