Coffee Information
Everything at Kiriga happens on-site. The estate operates a fully integrated wet mill, handling cherry selection, disc pulping, fermentation, washing and drying on raised African beds – the traditional Kenyan washed method, where a double fermentation and extended soaking period draws out the bright acidity and cup clarity the origin is celebrated for.
Once processed, Kiriga delivers both parchment coffee and Mbuni (naturally dried cherries) to a commercial dry mill for hulling and grading, preparing the beans for sale at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange or through direct channels.
In 2015, the estate undertook a bold rejuvenation initiative, removing over 40% of the old coffee heads – well above the recommended 25% – to encourage new growth. It was a brave call: yields dropped in the short term, but the payoff was bolder, more flavourful coffee with what Brian describes as the signature "Kiriga characteristics."
