Our Story
Coops are quite common in kenya with various smallholder farmers coming together to form a joint ownership society. These often allow the smallholder farmers to band together for collective bargaining power and shared resources. This lot of coffee is from the Ruthaka Farmer Cooperative Society (FCS) which consists of about 4000 members. The Muthuthiini factory is the washing station operated by the Ruthaka FCS in the Gathuitu region. Members of Ruthaka FCS typically cultivate SL28, SL34, Batian and Ruiru 11 varieties. This particular lot is only SL28 and SL34.
Coffee cherries are handpicked for peak ripeness and hand sorted before pulping. After being depuled the coffee is fermented in water for 12-24 hours to break down the mucilage after which it is washed and graded. The coffee is then dried on raised beds or solar driers for about 7-14 days during which they are carefully rotated to ensure even drying.
