Region: Kiambu County 

 

Situated at roughly 1,800 meters above sea level, the region where the Factory is located is defined by its
bright red soils, full of rich nutrients for coffee trees. The high altitude allows for ideal temperatures and rainfall for the slow maturation of coffee cherries. The FCS is managed by seven board members, two elected in each factory, and one that floats amongst all the factories.


After the producers gather their ripe cherries, they will deliver them to the Factory. Once the cherries reach the mill, the coffee is pulped to remove the external fruit from the coffee bean. The coffee is then soaked in cement tanks overnight to break down the remaining mucilage. The following morning, the coffee is cleaned once more through channels of water and dispersed on raised beds to dry in the open sun until the ideal moisture content is reached.
