Kenya is located in eastern Africa, with the equator running through the central region. It is bordered by Somalia to the east, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west and Ethiopia to the north. Kenyan coffee beans have a very variety of flavors, among which the change of acidity is the most attractive.

The Karimiku processing Plant (Karimikui Factory) belongs to the Rungeto Co-operative Society, which is located in the Kirinyaga area of Kenya. The Rungeto Co-operative Society is made up of three processing plants: Karimikui, Kii, and Kiangoi. At the time of its establishment, it inherited most of the assets of the famous local cooperatives after their dissolution. Among them, the Kalimiku processing Plant (Karimikui Factory) started operation in 1997. There are about 1400 farmers around, which can produce about 745 tons of fresh coffee fruit each year.

The Kalimiku processing plant is very focused on quality and has quite perfect and strict standards. The nearby Karimicu River (Karimikui River) is used as the main source of water. After carefully screening the ripe coffee fruit, the peel and pulp are then removed and fermented in the sink to remove pectin, and finally washed with clean water and then sun-dried on the African scaffolding. The treatment plant not only treats the production of coffee, but also pays great attention to environmental protection, and even builds its own wastewater treatment system to produce high-quality coffee beans without polluting the environment.

The beans from the Karimiku processing plant have rich flavors such as citrus and black plum, as well as very typical Kenyan acidity, and most importantly, the sugary sweetness of the end.
