Factory - Getuya
Getuya Coffee Factory is operated by the Mwirua Farmers Cooperative Society (F.C.S.), and was founded in 1964. There are 900 contributing producers who deliver cherry to the factory from their small (1/5 of a hectare) farmland within the area.
After the coffee is delivered and sorted, it is immediately depulped, fermented underwater for 15–24 hours, and washed three times before being spread on metal drying tables. It typically takes 6–7 days for the Washed coffees to dry, though the factory also produces Honey and Natural coffees.
Kirinyaga
Kirinyaga, in Central Kenya, is home to Mt. Kenya. It is forested with a wealth of exotic wildlife receiving 50 inches of rain per year. Many rivers run through the region and the soil is rich and volcanic, providing smallholders and cooperatives with the resources to grow and process some of Kenya's most fruit-forward coffees.
Variety - Batian, SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11
