Lemonade Stand

Lemonade Stand is grown by the Rungeto Farmers Co-operative Society and processed at their Karimikui Factory in Kirinyaga County, where around 600 smallholder farmers cultivate coffee across the fertile red volcanic slopes of Mount Kenya at 1,600–1,750 metres.

Quality begins with careful hand-sorting before the cherries are pulped and fermented overnight. The coffee is then washed, graded by density, soaked, and slowly sun-dried on raised African beds for 7 to 15 days to ensure even moisture and preserve quality.

Bright, sparkling and beautifully expressive — lively sweetness of sparkling lemonade over fresh yuzu, a crisp rhubarb edge, and soft peach rounding out the cup with delicate fruit sweetness. Refreshing, clean and effortlessly vibrant.

Established in 1997, the Karimikui Factory is operated by the Rungeto Farmers Co-operative Society in Kirinyaga County. Named after a local tree species, the factory works with approximately 600 smallholder farmers cultivating coffee across the fertile red volcanic slopes of Mount Kenya. Farmers throughout the Ngariama area grow coffee alongside bananas, maize, Macadamia and Grevillea trees, creating diverse and balanced growing environments. At elevations between 1,600 and 1,750 metres, the region's cool temperatures and steady rainfall encourage slow cherry maturation and exceptional cup clarity.
