Details

Thirikwa Farmers cooperative has around 1600 members who deliver their cherries to the Gakuyuini factory for processing. The factory is located on the slopes of Mount Kenya at between 1600-1700 masl. The cooperative has an almost 50/50 split of female and male producers. 

Cherries are hand sorted by the producers before being graded by density. The coffee is fermented in shade for 16-24 hours before being washed in grading channels. Finally the coffee is dried on African beds for 21 days until the desired moisture content is reached.

The bird in our logo is the tern, a migratory bird found in Oslo harbor that flies the longest distance in the world. We want to live our lives like a migratory bird, which, like the tern, stops at port cities around the world, absorbs the excellent energy of the land, and travels on to the next land.
