Kaganda FCS operates in the Murang'a region of Central Kenya. 1,050 farmers cultivate SL28. SL34, Ruiru 11 and Batian on small farms that are, on average, less than 1 hectare. The cooperative provides essential services such as farm inputs, training programs, and marketing assistance, ensuring that Kaganda FCS AA coffee upholds its high standards of quality and consistency. Murang'a is situated in Central Kenya, an area renowned for its favourable coffee-growing conditions. The region benefits from fertile volcanic soil, high altitudes and a temperate climate with moderate rainfall, all of which contribute to the production of high-quality coffee with distinct flavours and bright acidity. Murang'a, like neighbouring Nyeri, is recognised for producing some of Kenya's most sought-after coffees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-group\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-line\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column f-left\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg class=\"pagebuilder-mobile-hidden\" src=\"https:\/\/uk.covoyacoffee.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/WEB_MAP_-_KENYA_-_MURANGA_6.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column f-right\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKangema Sub-County is an administrative unit in Muranga County.

They soon became the go-to trees for many growers in Kenya due to their deep root structure, which allows them to maximise scarce water resources and flourish even without irrigation. They are cultivated with a serious eye towards sustainability and Good Agricultural Practices, with minimal environmental impact where possible. Batian is a relatively new variety introduced by the Kenya Coffee Research Institute (CRI) in 2010. Batian is named after the highest peak on Mt. Kenya and is resistant to both CBD and CLR. The variety has the added benefit of early maturity – cropping after only two years. Similar to Batian, Ruiru 11 is a new variety known for its disease resistance and high yields. It also starts yielding fruit after just 2 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFarmers handpick only ripe, red cherries, ensuring that the best quality fruit is delivered to Kaganda Factory. Upon delivery, the cherries are pulped and then fermented for 12 to 16 hours. After fermentation, the beans are soaked for an additional 12 to 24 hours to enhance their acidity and body. The coffee is then dried on raised beds for 7 to 14 days, with frequent raking to ensure even drying and optimal moisture content. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"widget block block-static-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"banner banner-inner-container pdp-banner-block banner-left center banner-bg-color-transparent\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product info detailed\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product data\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"description\" class=\"data item content description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product attribute description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-group\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-line\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column f-left\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"data item title\" id=\"tab-label-description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"data item title\" id=\"tab-label-description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003eRoast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight\/ Medium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrew\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilter \u0026amp; Espresso\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e","brand":"Django Coffee Co.","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Wholebean","offer_id":56302828355963,"sku":null,"price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Espresso","offer_id":56302828388731,"sku":null,"price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ V60","offer_id":56302828421499,"sku":null,"price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Chemex","offer_id":56302828454267,"sku":null,"price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ AeroPress","offer_id":56302828487035,"sku":null,"price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Cafetiere","offer_id":56302828519803,"sku":null,"price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Wholebean","offer_id":56302828552571,"sku":null,"price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Espresso","offer_id":56302828585339,"sku":null,"price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ V60","offer_id":56302828618107,"sku":null,"price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Chemex","offer_id":56302828650875,"sku":null,"price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ AeroPress","offer_id":56302828683643,"sku":null,"price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Cafetiere","offer_id":56302828716411,"sku":null,"price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ Wholebean","offer_id":56302828749179,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ Espresso","offer_id":56302828781947,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ V60","offer_id":56302828814715,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ Chemex","offer_id":56302828847483,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ AeroPress","offer_id":56302828880251,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG \/ Cafetiere","offer_id":56302828913019,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1065\/2736\/files\/kaganda.jpg?v=1781772073","url":"https:\/\/www.djangocoffeeco.com\/products\/kenya-gatubu-copy","provider":"Django Coffee Co.
