The Kii washing station is situated in Kirinyaga County on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya, close to its sister stations, Kiangoi and Karimikui. Established in 1995 to serve nearby villages, the station takes its name from the adjacent Kii River, which provides a reliable source of fresh water. Alongside its well-regarded counterparts, Kii has earned a strong reputation for producing some of Kenya’s most consistently high-quality coffees, known for their complexity and flavour density.

Upon delivery, the coffee is pulped and separated into three density grades. Grades 1 and 2, considered the highest quality, are dry-fermented separately from Grade 3 for 18 to 36 hours in shaded concrete tanks. After fermentation, the coffee is washed and graded again by density in washing channels, then sun-dried on raised beds for 12 to 20 days. At the dry mill, the coffee undergoes a final sorting by size.

We sourced this coffee through Nordic Approach, a Norway-based importer renowned for bringing in some of the finest Kenyan coffees available. We are delighted to once again feature a coffee from the Kii washing station in our offering.
