It is one of three factories belonging to the Gikanda Farmers Cooperative Society, from which we have sourced since 2012. Approximately 800 small-scale farmers from the surrounding areas deliver their cherries to Gichathaini. The main coffee variety processed here is SL 34 (90%), with smaller quantities of SL 28, K7, and Ruiru 11. The cherries are pulped, dry-fermented, washed, and sun-dried. The Gichathaini factory is Fairtrade, UTZ, and Rainforest Alliance certified. In the Nyeri region of central Kenya, the Gikanda cooperative operates three factories (wet mills) and comprises approximately 3000 active farmers. These factories include Gichatha-ini, Kangocho, and Ndaroini Gi-ka-nda-Gikanda.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing and Tasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFarmers hand-pick and deliver the fruit to the factory, receiving an advance payment, with the remainder paid after the coffee is sold. The process begins with a 3-disc Agaarde machine, which removes the skin and pulp, sorting the coffee by density. It then undergoes dry fermentation for 18–36 hours in concrete tanks, followed by washing and re-sorting by density. Finally, the beans are sun-dried for 12–20 days on African drying beds, covered during the hottest parts of the day and at night. Harvesting takes place from October to December, after the flowering period between February and March. The coffee is grown on fertile Nitisol, a red volcanic soil common in the mountains.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere we have Kenyan beans of the SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11 varieties, \u003cstrong\u003ewashed\u003c\/strong\u003e processed, with tasting notes of \u003cstrong\u003ered fruits, blackcurrant, guava, and flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e.
