Thageini

Green coffee beans grown and produced within the Nyeri County develop and mature slowly, producing extra-hard beans that are full of flavour and character. For this reason we partnered with the Thageini washing station to create our first Kenyan CM Selections coffees back in 2017 and have been working with them ever since. We source washed, natural, peaberry and CM Selections coffees from Thageini and are inspired by the local team’s dedication to quality. The Thageini mill is one of four wet mills that make up the Aguthi Farmer’s Co-operative Society. It is home to the second largest number of member producers, hosting 350 men and 100 women members out of the 2000 total members that are part of this Society. Once the wet milling and drying is complete at the Thageini mill, the parchment or dried cherry pods are delivered to the Sagana Coffee dry mill for de-hulling, grading and preparation for export.
