This AA fully washed coffee is from Gicherori washing station, established in 1994. Based in Embu county, the Co-op works with around 1,100 local farmers who cultivate the varieties of Ruiru 11, SL28 and Batian at altitudes up to 1,800masl. The area surrounding Gicherori area is densely populated, so every effort is made to minimize impact.

Gicherori has long-term goals to increase coffee production, training seminars, and access to education and sustainable processes for the farmers they work with. They also maintain a demonstration plot that farmers can visit and reference in relation to their own plots.
