Coffee description: The Kangiri FCS is located in Muranga County, on the slopes of the Aberdare Mountain range. The society has five factories: Kangurumai, New Irati, Kanguya, Gatumbi and Kanjathi. The water used for processing comes from the Kanyiriri spring nearby. Before pulping, the farmers are hand-sorting the cherries. Only the ripe ones are being delivered to the factory for processing. After pulping, the parchment is fermented overnight in the fermentation tanks. The following day, the parchment is washed and graded in the channels, and then dried on raised beds for 9-15 days.

Green coffee transparency: 264lbs @ $5.75/lb, September 2023 (Commodity coffee price: $1.45/lb. Why is this important? Coffee pricing is complex and multifaceted, and sharing what we paid is an incomplete picture, but we believe in sharing the data we have available, hoping that will embolden others to do the same, with the ultimate goal of getting producers fairer pay for their excellent work.)
