Kenya – Gathaithi – Ruiru 11, SL28, SL34, Batian – Washed
Tastes of : Orange, Marmalade, Candied red grape, toffee
The Gathaithi Farmers’ Cooperative Society, established under the cooperative society act of 2000, unites 1,656 active farmers in the renowned coffee-growing region of Nyeri County, Kenya. Located in Gaki, between the majestic Mt. Kenya and the Aberdare ranges, the cooperative benefits from an ideal environment that supports coffee cultivation, with nutrient-rich red volcanic soil and cool temperatures ranging from 16 to 26°C. Gathaithi’s unique location, 1,720 meters above sea level, allows it to produce high-quality coffee that truly reflects the terroir of this lush region.
Gathaithi farmers grow a blend of SL 28, SL 34, Ruiru 11, and Batian varieties, carefully hand-harvesting cherries twice a year during distinct cropping seasons. The “late crop,” which runs from September to January, contributes to 70% of the annual yield, while the “early crop” from April to July accounts for the remaining 30%. This careful timing ensures each harvest reaches peak ripeness.
Upon harvest, cherries are delivered to the Gathaithi Coffee Factory, where only the finest cherries are selected. After pulping, the coffee undergoes an overnight fermentation process to develop its complex flavors. The beans are then washed, soaked, and dried on raised tables for 7-15 days, depending on climate conditions. Continuous hand-turning and sorting ensure that every lot meets the cooperative’s high standards.
Ethiopia – Mohammed Aba Nura| – 74110 – Washed.
Tastes of : Toffee, red apple, honey, caramel.
In the highlands of Omafuntulay, Ethiopia, third-generation coffee farmer Mohammed Aba Nura continues his family’s legacy of coffee cultivation, a tradition that began in 1979. With 35.7 hectares of coffee trees flourishing at over 2000 meters above sea level, Mohammed’s farm lies in one of Ethiopia’s most prized coffee-growing regions. As a dedicated member of the Tokuma Farmer Group, he works collaboratively with local farmers to market their coffee, share knowledge, and pool resources. Through this group, formed in 2018, Mohammed and other experienced farmers leverage partnerships with exporters like Addis Exporter, giving them more control over exports and access to specialty coffee markets.
On his farm, Mohammed grows the Metu-Bishari 74110 variety, a resilient and high-yielding cultivar developed by the Jimma Research Centre. This variety, originating from the wild plants of Ethiopia’s Metu-Bishari forest, is celebrated for its resistance to coffee berry disease.
During harvest, Mohammed is meticulous in his selection process, picking only the ripest cherries. These cherries are then carefully dried on traditional African raised beds for 15-22 days, with each cherry turned multiple times daily to ensure consistent drying. At night, the cherries are covered with nylon mesh and plastic, safeguarding them from moisture and maintaining a stable environment. Once the cherries reach a moisture content of 10.5%, they are packed and stored, ready to deliver a beautifully balanced cup.
