Whole Bean Coffee
[KEN-YUH • KUH-THOK-WUH]
Process: Washed
Orange Marmalade, Plum, Brown Sugar
Classic bright Kenya profile, with a plum-like acidity and a brown sugar sweetness.
Kathakwa Factory, part of the long standing Kibugu Farmers Cooperative Society, sits on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya at 1,500–1,700 masl, drawing cherry from more than 1,000 smallholder farmers straddling the Embu–Kirinyaga border. Ripe cherry is delivered daily and processed using Kenya’s traditional disc depulpers, followed by 24 hour wet fermentation and a clean water soak that ensures thorough mucilage removal and clarity in the cup. Coffees are slow dried on raised beds for 1–2 weeks, then carefully conditioned on site for moisture stability. Supported by Kibugu FCS’s agronomic training and pre-harvest financing, Kathakwa consistently delivers clean, structured Kenyan profiles with excellent physical preparation and grading reliability.
