The Kiangoi Factory, managed by the Rung’eto Cooperative Society, is situated in Kirinyaga, Central Kenya, specifically in the Ngariama location of Gichugu Division near Embu town. Established in the 1960s, it occupies a 7-acre plot of land, serving the Kiangoro and Karinga Villages. The area is predominantly covered in native trees, protected by the local community.

The number of casual staff at the factory varies depending on the crop harvest, with approximately 20 employed during peak seasons and around 3 during off-peak periods. Permanent staff handle tasks like weighing coffee, selecting and grading it, paying farmers, and addressing their needs. The Kiangoi Factory is Fairtrade certified.

Farmers associated with the Rung’eto Cooperative cultivate their crops on Mount Kenya’s slopes, known for producing intense, complex, and flavour-dense coffees. The Kiangoi Factory’s unique aspect is its location in tea-growing zones. The cherries for this lot were harvested at altitudes ranging between 1600 and 1800 metres above sea level.
