Quality and greater transparency.

This lot comes from a community of smallholder farmers who deliver their harvests to the Kiandu Factory, part of the young and ambitious Mutheka Farmers Cooperative Society in Nyeri, Kenya.

Established in 2004, Mutheka emerged from a larger collective, built on the belief that smaller, more focused groups could nurture better quality and greater transparency.

The Producer

Set between the Aberdare Ranges and Mount Kenya, the cooperative now brings together around 6,000 farmers across seven factories.

Kiandu, one of the largest, counts nearly 1,900 members.

Here, the process remains deeply personal. Each cherry is handpicked and delivered to the factory the same day.

Factory staff carefully inspect every delivery, accepting only the ripest fruit.

  • Production Data

    Produced by Mutheka FCS
    Region - Nyeri County
    Grown at 1600 - 1700 masl
    Varietal - SL28, SL34
    Harvest - May 2025
    Process - Washed

  • Washed

    Ripe cherries are washed and then pulped to remove the majority of skin and fruit from the bean before its fermented.

    Fermentation is brief and helps to remove any remaining material from the pulping process as well as adding complexity to the coffee.

    The coffee is then washed and sun-dried, mechanically dried, or a combination of the two until the desired moisture level is reached.
