About The Coffee:Sourced from the fertile slopes of Mt. Kenya in Kirinyaga County, produced by the acclaimed Baragwi Farmers Cooperative Society.
Baragwi was registered in 1953 and is among the oldest coffee cooperatives in Kenya. Today, Baragwi operates 12 factories and represents over 16,000 members in Kirinyaga.
Established in 1978, Gachami is one of Baragwi’s largest factories, with around 1,200 smallholder farmers delivering cherries to the factory for processing.
In the traditional Kenyan washed process, only the ripest red cherries are hand-picked. After pulping, the beans undergo overnight fermentation in water to break down the mucilage, followed by an aggressive wash. They are then meticulously sun-dried on raised African beds for 8–14 days, which locks in the bean's brilliant clarity and complex fruit-forward character.
