The story
Gachatha is a washing station (or 'factory') in Kenya's Nyeri county, serving members of its surrounding cooperative society. The high-altitude SL28 and SL34 varieties, washed and dried on raised beds, give the bright, blackcurrant-and-citrus cup Kenya is renowned for.
Factories like Gachatha show how cooperative processing can deliver world-class quality.
