Roaster's Pick - Single Origin Filter Coffee

Gatina is a community of 790 small farmers, each looking after a few hundred trees on their land. This scale lets them give every tree proper attention and pick only the best cherries. That focus on detail lifts the quality and value of the coffee.

Each month, our roaster selects a standout coffee for filter brewing - one that’s captured their attention for its exceptional quality and unique flavour profile. These coffees embody everything we love about specialty coffee, highlighting the care and craft behind every bean.

Kieni Factory sits just outside Karatina in Nyeri County, in a small hamlet called Konyu. It is run by the Mugaga Farmers Cooperative Society and receives cherry from about 1,000 members. Mugaga oversees five washing stations and supports more than 4,800 farmers across the region.

Along with managing processing, they help farmers lift yields by providing inputs, replacing old trees and tackling pests and disease. They also run programs for young people and women in coffee. A third of their members are women, which is rare and shows how strong their community engagement is.
