Kamwangi Coffee Factory is located in the north east corner of Kirinyaga County, on the slopes and foothills of Mount Kenya, where rich volcanic soils and cool temperatures at altitude produce very dense, hard beans high in acidity and complexity. It is one of three Factories managed by the New Ngariama FCS.
