Kenya and the Aberdare Mountains. This historic coffee-growing region features rich volcanic soil and abundant fresh mountain water. The factory serves about 1,050 local cooperative members, most of whom are smallholders tending to roughly 300 trees on less than a hectare of land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eBecause the surrounding area is densely populated, the Gachatha community takes exceptional care of their environment. The factory uses dedicated soak pits for water treatment to prevent the contamination of local fresh-water sources, and the community actively works to preserve indigenous plant life to protect local wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eWe source this exceptional microlot through our importing partners at Cafe Imports. We choose to work with Cafe Imports because of their decades-long commitment to transparency and ethics in Kenya. By embedding their green buyers on the ground during the harvest season, they bypass standard bulk auctions to select small, traceable day-lots based strictly on cup quality, ensuring excellent premiums make it back to the Gachatha cooperative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProcessing\u003c\/b\u003e This coffee is processed using Kenya's traditional double-washed method, utilizing the region's clean mountain water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eCherries are picked ripe and depulped the same day, then fermented in open-air concrete tanks for 24–48 hours.
