Kapsokisio wet mill
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
Kapsokisio is a wet mill located in the Mount Elgon region of Kenya. It operates as a collection point for several hundred smallholder farmers who deliver their coffee cherries for processing. The mill has maintained a long-standing relationship with roaster Tim Wendelboe, who has been sourcing coffee from the cooperative since 2012.
Challenges
The mill relies on the collective output of smallholder farmers, which requires consistent coordination to ensure quality control across many individual plots.
Innovations
The roaster Tim Wendelboe provided financial support to the cooperative to assist in the construction of new drying beds to improve processing quality.
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.
