The red volcanic soils that stretch across Nyeri County and around the base of Mount Kenya, hydrated by the many rivers that bend within the landscape, fuel the growth of coffee trees and provide all the nutrients the trees need to produce plump, flavourful cherries. It is then up to the hands of many farmers who care for small one acre plots to tend to these cherries and collect them when red and ripe. The farmers caring for these trees are part of the Othaya Farmer’s Co-operative Society, and deliver their cherries to the Gura wet will. This wet mill features the work of 468 society members: 164 women and 304 men. It is FLO certified and the Othaya Farmer’s Co-operative Society participate in environmental projects through the planting of trees along coffee bushes to enhance the agroforestry across the county. Gura wet mill has capacity to process over 240 tonnes of cherries each harvest, and we are excited to offer some of the peaberry lots that have come from such a large production. Hand picked, hand delivered, hand sorted, hand crafted.
