KENYA KAHIRAINI MICROLOT

Mathira North Co-op is among the earliest producers of natural and anaerobic coffee. For a long time, Kenyan coffee producers were only allowed to produce fully washed coffee. This natural-process coffee opens up new market segments and a new Kenyan coffee profile. In the recent harvest, we also purchased natural Kenyan coffee, which came from one of Mathira's wet mills, Kahiraini.

Kahiraini wet mill got interested in producing natural coffee after being influenced by Rui Ruiru's success story of producing natural and anaerobic coffee. Like the Rui Ruiru wetmill, Kahiraini has not been in operation for almost 10 years.

Reviving a dead coffee wet mill is not for the faint of heart. It took lots of work and effort to bring Kahiraini Alaive back again. With almost 200 active farmers around the wet mill, they will begin to produce natural process lots in 2023, and this crop is the freshest natural Kenyan that you can taste.
