STORY
With nearly 700,000 coffee producers, roughly 70% of which are smallholder producers, Kenya shines as a unique coffee producing country in East Africa. Within the Kirinyaga County along the slopes of Mt. Kenya is the
Kagumo Factory. 1,561 smallholders in this region contribute coffee cherries to this mill and belong to the
Mutira Farmers Cooperative Society (FCS). Situated at 1,550 meters above sea level, this region is defined by
its bright red soils, full of rich nutrients forcoffee trees. The high altitude allows for ideal temperatures and rainfall for the slow maturation of coffee cherries.
Smallholders in this region grow coffee on small plots of land and pick the cherries during harvest to deliver to the mill. Once the cherries reach the mill, the coffee is washed with river water. After the cherries are pulped, the coffee is placed in large tanks to soak in water and ferment. This allows for the breakdown of the exterior mucilage, normally lasting overnight. The coffee is then rushed through channels and cleaned one final time before being spread evenly on raised tables to dry in the open sun until a targeted moisture content isreached.
