This coffee is harvested with strict ripeness criteria, then floated and hand-sorted to remove defects. The cherries undergo a 30-hour underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment is gently washed and dried under temperature-controlled conditions until it reaches the ideal moisture content.

Mwirua Farmers’ Cooperative Society is a long-established co-op in Kirinyaga that manages several washing stations and supports smallholder coffee farmers with processing, training and market access.

Getuya washing station

Mwirua Farmers Cooperative Society

The Getuya Washing Station is located in Kirinyaga County on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya. It is managed by the Mwirua Farmers’ Cooperative Society, which supports a network of smallholder farmers across the region. Many of these farmers grow coffee on small family plots alongside other crops such as maize and beans.

The station was established in 1964 and continues to play a vital role in the local coffee economy. Farmers bring their ripe red cherries to Getuya, where they are hand-sorted before being pulped and fermented using the traditional washed method. After fermentation, the coffee is washed with clean water and then dried slowly on raised African beds. This careful process helps preserve clarity and enhance the coffee’s bright, fruit-forward profile.

Sitting at elevations of around 1,700 to 1,800 metres above sea level, the station benefits from ideal conditions for producing high-quality coffee. The combination of altitude, SL28 and SL34 varietals, and expert processing results in a cup that is crisp, juicy and full of layered complexity.

Getuya is a great example of the impact a well-run cooperative and dedicated washing station can have on cup quality, farmer livelihoods and the global reputation of Kenyan coffee.
