Sourced from Falcon Specialty Coffee:

Karogoto is a wet mill, located near Karatina town in Nyeri County, Kenya. It is one of four factories operated by Tekangu Farmers’ Co-operative Society. A total of 1,054 active members deliver cherries to Karogoto, including 421 women and 633 men.

Nyeri is one of Kenya’s most respected coffee-producing regions. Its cool
temperatures, high elevations, fertile red volcanic soils, and reliable rainfall contribute to slow cherry maturation, dense beans, and the bright, complex cup profiles for which the region is known.

The main harvest at Karogoto typically runs from October to January, depending on seasonal conditions and ripening speed.

Nyeri County lies in Kenya’s central highlands, between the eastern base of
the Aberdare Range and the western slopes of Mount Kenya. The county is also a key access point for visitors travelling to Aberdare National Park and Mount Kenya.

Like many coffee-growing areas in Nyeri, Karogoto serves large numbers of
smallholder farmers, many of whom farm plots of around half a hectare.

These farmers typically grow coffee alongside food crops and pasture.
Freshly picked cherries are delivered to the nearest factory, where they are combined into daily lots and processed by the cooperative.

At Karogoto, ripe cherries are hand-sorted, depulped, and fermented for
approximately 24 to 36 hours. The parchment is then washed in channels,
graded by density, and dried slowly on raised African beds for about 12 to 20 days, depending on the weather, until it reaches a moisture content of 10 to 12 percent. The coffee is then prepared for dry milling and export, either through Kenya’s auction system or through direct trade relationships.
