The coffee is produced by smallholder farmers who deliver their freshly harvested cherries to the Kabingara Factory, a central washing station managed by the \u003cstrong\u003eKarithathi Farmers' Cooperative Society\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cherries were grown between approximately \u003cstrong\u003e1,800 and 2,000 metres above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e. At this elevation, coffee cherries mature slowly, helping produce dense beans with concentrated sweetness, lively acidity, and the complex fruit character for which Kirinyaga is renowned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2025 crop received a cupping score of \u003cstrong\u003e87.5 points\u003c\/strong\u003e. The arrival sample was described as intensely fruity and jammy, with fig jam, exceptional cleanliness, elegance, and a lingering fruity finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAB\u003c\/strong\u003e designation refers to the Kenyan export grade based primarily on bean size.

SL-28 and SL-34 are celebrated heritage selections closely associated with the classic Kenyan cup profile, known for expressive fruit, structured acidity, sweetness, and excellent clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBatian and Ruiru 11 are more modern Kenyan varieties developed to provide greater resilience and resistance to important coffee diseases. Together, these varieties create a complex yet balanced cup, combining the distinctive fruit intensity of traditional Kenyan coffee with excellent structure and cleanliness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"direction: ltr;\"\u003eProcessing Method\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKabingara undergoes a carefully controlled \u003cstrong\u003ewashed process\u003c\/strong\u003e.
