Origin: Kianjege Factory - Kibirigwi Farmers' Cooperative Society
This coffee has been processed at the Kianjege Factory, which is a part of the Kibirigwi Farmers Cooperative Society.
In addition to Kianjege, the Kibirigwi FCS oversees eight other wet mills: Ragati, Nguguini, Mukangu, Kiangai, Kibingoti, Thunguri, Chema, and Kiai. Although all nine wet mills exist, Kiai was closed in 2002 due to low production.
Established in 1953, the cooperative society’s main office is situated at Ragati wet mill, Kibirigwi sub-Location, Kirinyaga west sub-county, Kirinyaga county. The society is located approximately 5 km from Karatina town and 112 km from Nairobi. The cooperative employs 57 permanent staff members and an average of 80 seasonal workers.
Currently, the total number of active cooperative members are approximately 6,800, with a total of 1,722,000 coffee trees. The FCS is managed by nine elected executive management members.
Harvest
The main crop flowers between October and February, while the fly crop occurs between April and May. The region experiences annual rainfall ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 mm, divided into short and long rain seasons. The main crop depends on the long rains between April and June, while the fly crop receives adequate rain from October to November. The average annual temperature ranges from 12 to 25 degrees Celsius.
These coffees grow on deep red volcanic soils at an altitude of 1,600-1,700 metres above sea level.
Processing
The cherries delivered to the Kianjege Factory are selectively hand picked. The cherries are delivered to the wet mill immediately after picking. Cherry sorting takes place at the wet mill before pulping, where red ripe cherries are separated from underipes, overipes, and foreign matter.
The cherries then undergo wet processing with clean water. Following pulping, the beans are fermented for approximately 16-18 hours for mucilage removal. They are then washed and graded. The processing water is recycled before disposal into evaporation and seepage pits.
After careful fermentation and washing, sun drying is conducted until the moisture content reaches 10.5 – 11.5%. The parchment is then delivered to the dry mill for secondary processing.
