BIG STORY BEHIND THIS COFFEE
This coffee is sourced from Gakuyuini washing station in Kirinyaga county. This is the factory where Peter’s family deliver their coffee after harvest, suffice to say they belong to Thirikwa Cooperative society that has a membership of slightly over 2200 majority of whom are women.
The coffee is cultivated on the volcanic soil of Mt Kenya by small scale farmers with an average of 0.5 ha of land who grow coffee as a source of family income alongside subsistence food such as bananas, beans , potatoes. They intercrop the coffee with avocados, macadamia and mangoes providing the much needed shade cover.
A key sustainability selling point for Gakuyuini is the fact that they have installed a modern eco pulper that uses less water during the processing.
An opportunity to roast and present this coffee to our community is such a great honor, we are truly honored by the fact that our DNA thread can be traced from farm to cup.
