Karimikui is one of the three washing stations of the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society, on the slopes of Mount Kenya, in Kirinyaga. The cooperative was founded in 1953 and brings together more than 3,500 smallholder farmers. The coffee grows between 1,700 and 1,900 metres above sea level, on volcanic soils rich in nutrients. After selective picking, the cherries are washed with a double fermentation and a soak in clean water, then carefully dried on raised beds.
