Kenya Rungeto Karimukui

About Kenya Rungeto Karimukui

We’ve got a beautiful Kenyan to share this summer — Rungeto Karimikui 008, a classic washed lot from Kirinyaga County.

Karimikui is one of the region’s earlier producers, with the factory established in 1953. Farms sit on the red volcanic slopes of Mount Kenya, an area better known for tea. Most are smallholder plots (under a hectare), growing classic SL28 and SL34 alongside newer cultivars like Ruiru 11 and Batian.

The SL varieties, first bred in 1935 for drought resistance, became iconic for their vibrant, sweet profiles. Newer cultivars like Ruiru 11 and Batian were later introduced to help protect against disease and stabilise yields, giving farmers a balance between cup quality and resilience.


Part of the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society, Karimikui continues to focus on quality and efficiency, with water recycling and clean processing helping to produce consistent, expressive coffees.

In the cup, this is a modern take on a Kenyan profile. Less blackcurrant, more lifted fruit. Think boysenberry, black tea, and a subtle apricot jam finish.

How this works

Simply select how often you want to receive coffee and we’ll ship it to you based on your choice. It's really that easy. You can change or cancel your subscription anytime.

Shipping & Delivery

If you order before noon we will dispatch your package the same business day. Located in the Netherlands? You should receive your order within 24-48 hours. Rural and international deliveries typically take a little longer and should be with you in 2-5 days.

December: As the holiday season approaches and we all begin to send treats to our loved ones, the couriers get a little run off their feet. The inevitable delays have begun, so to ensure your presents make it under the tree, be sure to order before Friday 20th December.

Shipping Rates

Shipping costs are calculated automatically at checkout. We offer complimentary shipping for orders of €30 and above within the Netherlands. We normally ship via PostNL and often UPS, depending on your location.

Morning Tracks

Before we turn on the coffee roaster in the morning, there's one thing we just can't go without.. music. We curated several playlists for you to enjoy while sipping. Some are perfect to relax and wind down, others can get a bit loud and noisy from time to time. Some have even been put together by the farmers we collaborate with. Keep on rocking in the free world!
