Warenew is a company founded by a group of farmers who decided to start working together towards a common goal of increasing their production, value and quality of their coffee. The farms are all located around Embu, in altitudes ranging from 1300 – 1800 meters above sea level. The members / farmers are mainly growing the SL28 cultivar that is famous for its fruity high quality cup profile, yet some of the farms located in the lower parts are also growing Ruiru 11 as it is tolerant to leaf rust and resistant to coffee berry disease, the two fungal diseases that are very common on coffee trees in Kenya. The 2022/23 harvest is the best we have ever tasted from Warenew. The coffee is more intense and fruity than in previous years where it has been slightly more herbal, especially in the aftertaste. My impression in general is that the 2022/23 harvest in Kenya was the best in several years and buying coffees in Kenya this year was a real treat due to the overall high quality of the coffees. Fun fact: It was during a visit to some of their members farms where I learned the planting technique that has been a huge success at our own biological coffee farm in Colombia, Finca el Suelo.
