Gatunyu Kigio Farmers' Cooperative (FCS) is headquartered in Gatanga County, Mulan County. The association was registered on November 20, 1995 and includes the following coop plants in Kiambu and Muranga counties:

Gakurari

Muchai

Gichamuri

Wambaru

Atlas's first purchases from Gatunyu Kigio were in 2019, mainly from Gakurari factories. This is the first year that a cup of coffee in Mulang County caught our attention. We have learned that in 2018, the Kenyan Coffee exporters Cooperation (KCCE) invested a lot of money to educate Gatunyu Kigio farmers and employees on appropriate planting and picking techniques. This is probably why our 2019 selection of Gakurari coffee is so different. The full-time staff of each factory cleaning station is responsible for ensuring that factories in a particular society follow the same procedures for washing and drying coffee, so we are likely to see similar results from Muchai, Gichamuri and Wambaru in 2020.

Daniel ElBaradei (Daniel Mbaradi), manager of Gakurari, reports that the average fermentation time after depilation is 12-16 hours. The fermented coffee is washed in the concrete channel and is not soaked after fermentation. After washing, move the wet parchment to the skin drying table and spread it into a thin layer (about 1 inch). Dry for 2 days to remove moisture from the surface and parchment. At this stage, some manual sorting of parchment is carried out to eliminate any obvious defects. After the skin is dry, move the coffee to the main drying table, dry in plenty of sunlight for another 10-12 days, and rotate frequently. On very hot days, coffee is covered with canvas to reduce the dry temperature. These procedures, used by Gakurari's nearly 500 farmer members, are also used by other Gatunyu Kigio factories.

Almost every conceivable fruit is used to describe the college we arrived in 2019. Blackberries, raspberries, cranberries, peaches, mangoes, pineapples, limes, green grapes, plums, apricots and lemons are all descriptors for AA, AB and PB batches. They are undoubtedly one of our best coffee brands in Kenya this year, understand the investment of KCCE and Gatunyu Kigio FCS in the long-term business, and we are looking forward to what we will bring next year.
