## What the Brand Says

> Tart blackberry with brown sugar & mandarin sweetness. 200km from Nairobi, the Kinoro Factory (mill), run by a co-op of 800 farmers, is growing quality & opportunity for up-and-coming Meru county. Investing in productivity and efficiency improvements to their mill, the Kigari Farmer Co-op are also pursing new, direct partnerships with Vava Coffee and, in-turn, Five Senses to secure a sustainable market for their quality coffees. We particularly love the seedling nursery providing a kick-starter for youth and women to access coffee farming. The fertile lands of Mt Kenya that are farmed by the Co-op have produced a coffee full of tart blackberry, carried on brown sugar sweetness & swirls of mandarin sweetness. Enjoy!
