The Karimikui factory is located in Ngairiama in the Gichugu division of Kirinyaga district, Central Province. It is one of three factories, along with Kiangoi and Kii, which make up the Rungeto Farmers Coop Society.

This coop was established in 1953 and now has around 3507 members. Each smallholder member has around a hectare of land for growing coffee alongside vegetables for their families.

The area has rich and fertile red volcanic soil at altitudes of 1700 to 1900 metres above sea level and receives between 1600 and 1900mm of rainfall annually.

SL28 was bred by Scott Laboratories in 1931 from Tanganyika D.R. It has become very popular throughout Kenya and is recognised as a variety of exceptional cup quality. It has wide leaves with coppery tips, and the beans are wide.

Also from Scott Laboraties, SL34 is a mutation of French Mission, originating from the plantation of Loresho in Kabete. SL34 has wide leaves with bronzy tips. It is widely grown throughout Kenya. This variety is valued for its high productivity in different climate conditions and great height ranges.
