Kenya Micro batch Series Kenya Micro Lot

Kenya's boutique coffee industry is different from the general, mostly in the form of a combination of small farmers, wet treatment plants and cooperatives. Farmers will send the harvested coffee cherries to nearby processing plants or cooperatives in the shortest possible time. At the same time, cooperatives also regularly send staff to tutor local farmers to ensure that each producer has professional planting skills to maintain the quality of coffee. Shoucheng Coffee flies to Kenya every year and selects the best batches of the year from all regions of Kenya in the capital Nieli.

Karatina is also located along the Nanobi-Nieri highway in the south, and the traffic environment is still convenient. (to the east is the famous city of Kirinyaga)

The co-operative, once a member of Mukurweini, became independent as a self-owned cooperative in the 1990s (strictly speaking, Mukurweini is not far southwest of Karatina). Tambaya, which is itself a cooperative, is also a member of the Rumukia Coffee Farmers' Cooperative (Rumukia Coffee Farmer Society). Rumukia, similar to the Othaya Coffee Farmers' Cooperative (Othaya Farmers Cooperative Society), plays an important role in Kenya's boutique coffee farmers. This cooperative group is usually composed of several wet treatment plants and has independent quality control and dry treatment equipment.

Including cup control capacity and monitoring dry processing procedures, it can be said to be another management and control department at the end of raw bean processing. Well-known, such as Rumukia and Othaya, can also be regarded as one of the quality assurance indicators of coffee production.

Tambaya is one of the processing plants cooperated by Rumikia, that is, the Tambaya Cooperative itself is a wet treatment plant and has nearly 1100 independent smallholder members, each growing only about 250 coffee trees, such a micro-farm type also helps the cooperative manage each plant more effectively. Tambaya, as a co-operative between factories, is quite complete in its links with farmers and its cooperation with large cooperatives.
