Grown and produced by the Thirikwa Farmers' Cooperative Society, processed at their Gakuyu-ini mill. The cooperative has taken measures to improve both cup quality and sustainability and has around 1550 members. They farm on the slopes of Mount Kenya and the melt water of the snow capped peak is used in the mill to wash the coffee, with the ripe red coffee flesh (cascara) being retained for compost and returned to the members.

Our coffee bags are home compostable. You can pop them in your compost bin at home or put them in your FOGO bin. (Chop the bags up - the smaller the pieces, the quicker they will break down.) You may wish to use a suitable storage container such as a coffee canister to store your coffee beans once you open your coffee bag. Keep your beans out of heat and light and sealed tight.

How long will my coffee stay fresh? How should I store my coffee?

Our blends and espresso roasts taste best if you start using the coffee around 12 days after it is roasted (check the roast date stamp on every bag), and finish it up in around 2 or 3 weeks. We enjoy our filter roasts from a few days after they are roasted. Store your coffee away from light and heat, and keep the bag sealed tight.
