Profile image · identity and location not independently authenticated
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
Gichathaini serves smallholder farms near Mount Kenya. Contributor and membership counts vary by source, date, and whether the figure covers the factory or the wider cooperative, so this page preserves those differences instead of presenting one universal count.
Challenges
Current sources document a cooperative of about 1,850 farmers but do not publish farm-by-farm acreage or a current producer-stated list of challenges.
Innovations
Coffee Collective documents careful fermentation and drying, plus the station’s own dry mill and cupping lab. Project Origin’s 2026 lot sheet reports 16–24 hours of fermentation in shaded conditions.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
