Factory: About 950 smallholder farmermembers of Barichu Farmer Cooperative Society
Gatomboya factory is operated by the Barichu Farmer Cooperative Society (F.C.S.), which has about 1,000 smallholder members, about 900–950 of whom are active.

The farmers grow on very small plots, and also tend macadamia, corn, bananas and beans. Cherries here are sorted, depulped, fermented overnight before being washed, and then placed on raised beds for 10–12 days. This washing station serves nearly 2600 small-holder farmers in the region and was founded in 1957.

The wet mill has expanded in recent years, now running three facilities in different towns to better support farmers across Embu. The organization is ran by a democratically elected five member board who are voted in based on local representation to the members.

Ripe cherries are hand-picked by farmers and delivered to the mill in cherry. There they sort and clean the coffee in fresh water from a local tributary and process the coffee in traditional Kenyan style of double washing and drying on raised beds.

How it's roasted

How it's roasted

At our OR roastery in Westrem, the Kenya Gatomboya AB is roasted with great care and precision by our dedicated team of roasters. Just like other fully washed Kenyan coffees, this coffee welcomes high energy in the first phase of the roast, allowing its vibrant character to shine. By carefully managing the roast duration and giving the beans just the right amount of heat during the sugar browning stage, we create a perfect balance between the crisp acidity and a long-lasting sweetness. Every batch reflects our passion for craftsmanship and our constant drive to bring out the very best in each bean.
