The coffee cherries are first floated in water to remove damaged, overripe, or lower-quality fruit while also pre-washing the coffee. After careful sorting and cleaning, the cherries are pulped and evenly distributed in fermentation tanks. The coffee undergoes 18–20 hours of dry fermentation, followed by another wash and 24 more hours of fermentation. After a final washing and grading, the coffee is dried on raised beds for 10–14 days.

Ngunguru Washing Station is located near Karatina in Nyeri County and is part of the Tekangu Farmers’ Cooperative Society, which also includes the Tegu, Karogoto, and Ngunguru mills. Through Kenya’s cooperative system, member farmers have a voice in how their coffee is processed, marketed, and how profits are distributed. Nyeri is widely regarded as the standout coffee-producing county in central Kenya thanks in part to its deep, iron-rich volcanic soils, which provide excellent fertility, water retention, and drainage.

What if my package is delayed?

Sometimes our shipping partners experience delays due to weather, heightened demand, technical issues, pandemics, or aliens. All of which is out of our hands, except the aliens, but that's not for here.

If your package is delayed, let us know and we'll track it down and escalate its delivery. If it's delayed more than 2 weeks past the shipment date, and your order includes coffee, we'll either refund your money or ship you fresh coffee at no cost.
Can my coffee be ground?

By you? Yes. By us, sadly, no. Currently, we can only ship whole-bean coffee.
When will my order ship?

Freshness is critical to fully enjoying coffee. We roast to order to ensure your coffee is at peak freshness when it arrives. We roast to order and ship Monday-Thursday. Orders are usually fulfilled the production day after they are placed (for example, orders placed on Monday will ship on Tuesday). Orders placed Thursday-Sunday will be fulfilled and shipped on Monday.
