Located in Nyeri County, along the slopes of Mt. Kenya, is the Karatina Factory, or wet mill. 1,450 smallholders in this region contribute coffee cherries to this mill that belong to the Barichu Cooperative Society.

At 1,650 meters above sea level, this region is defined by its bright red soils, full of rich nutrients for coffee trees. The high altitude allows for a sweeter and more complex cup of coffee. Smallholders in this region grow coffee on small plots of land and pick the cherries during harvest to deliver to the mill. 

BFCS is committed to their goal of empowering the farmers through education and fostering sustainable agricultural practices. The Society currently has 1,450 members and produces 85% of the region's specialty coffee. 

The tea-like flavors and sweetness from Batian and Ruiru 11, and the berry complexity from the SL - 28 makes a special cup of coffee. We found this is a very juicy and balanced coffee, with a lingering, sweet aftertaste.
