About the producer:

This lot is procured from a multitude of smallholder producers from various Farmer Cooperative societies who grow their coffee around the Central Highlands region. This area stretches down from the southern slopes of Mount Kenya and the foothills of the Aberdare Mountain Range to the northern outskirts of the capital, Nairobi. This lot encompasses 5 of Kenya's highly coveted coffee producing districts, namely: Nyeri, Kiambu, Murang'a, Kirinyaga, and Embu.

This cooperative system, owned by the farmers and run for the benefit of the farmers, provides smallholder farmer members with access to international markets they wouldn’t otherwise reach due to their limited production volumes. By working collectively, they can earn better prices and benefit from the cooperative’s expertise in processing, technical support, seedling nurseries, and other services.
