Kenya Nyeri Othaya Mahiga AB
Mt. Kenya, Africa’s second-highest peak, sits at the heart of Kenya’s Central Province, where the mineral-rich soils and high elevations produce some of the world’s best coffees. Nyeri County is particularly famous for its coffee, cultivated by small farmers within cooperative systems. The Mahiga Factory, part of the Othaya Farmers Cooperative Society, includes 400 members who collectively produced 152,000 kgs of parchment coffee last harvest. Mahiga's farmers receive 55 shillings per kilogram of cherries delivered, benefiting from the Kenya Cooperative Coffee Exporters (KCCE) initiative, which helps cooperatives capture more of the export value chain and boost farmer income.

Processing Method
Kenya is renowned for its precise, large-scale coffee processing, characterised by bright white parchment, careful density sorting, and high-elevation conditioning. At Mahiga Factory, double fermentation is a unique feature, where coffee ferments twice—first for 12 hours, then again for 12-36 hours, with a washing in between. This method enhances clarity and cleanliness in the cup. After fermentation, the parchment is soaked, sorted by density, and dried for two weeks. Once dry, the coffee is sent to Othaya dry mill for grading by size, ensuring consistent quality and varied profiles for roasters.
