Story
Wachuri AA is a premium coffee from Nyeri County, Kenya, known for its complex flavours and vibrant acidity. Grown at altitudes between 1,400 and 2,000 meters above sea level, the coffee benefits from fertile volcanic soil and cool temperatures. The Wachuri Farmers' Cooperative Society, consisting of around 900 small-scale farmers, produces this lot at the Wachuri Factory, with dry milling at Sagana Coffee Mills.
Made from SL28 and SL34 varieties, the coffee is processed using the traditional Washed method. Ripe cherries are pulped, fermented, washed, and dried on raised beds, resulting in a cup with bright berry flavours, juicy body, and clean sweetness. This careful process ensures a refined, crisp profile.

Origin
Nyeri County, Kenya
The Wachuri Farmers' Cooperative Society Limited (WFCSL) was established in 2000 after the division of the Tetu Coffee Growers Cooperative Society, though its roots go back to the Wachuri Factory founded in 1967. Located in Nyeri County, Kenya, WFCSL consists of around 900 active members farming nearly 260 acres collectively, with each member managing small farms of less than 0.24 acres. The cooperative's independence, a reflection of the broader trend in Kenya's coffee sector, enables it to better serve its members by providing a platform for processing, marketing, and improving access to markets.
