From our importer:
Ichuga is owned by the Kiama Farmer Cooperative Society (FCS), located in Nyeri, near the town of Karatina.
Farmers deliver their coffee cherries to Ichuga Factory for primary processing. Cherry sorting is carried out to ensure only the very best cherries are used, and inferior quality cherries are removed.
The pulping, fermenting, and washing process is closely supervised before the parchment is moved to the drying tables for slow sun drying on the famous African beds. From there, is it regularly turned and protected from the harsh midday sun. When the coffee has been properly dried and conditioned, the cooperative society will move it to the dry mill for secondary processing, where the coffee is graded.
