Water for processing is sourced from the Ragati River, while the Kirigu River gives the sister factory its name.

Around 850 smallholder farmers supply cherries to Ndima-ini. Coffee is grown in rich red volcanic soils at elevations around 1,600 meters. Hand- harvested cherries are processed using the fully washed method, fermented, then density sorted and sun-dried on raised beds to preserve clarity and flavor integrity.

The Gakuyu Farmers’ Cooperative Society reinvests in its members by offering school fee loans, agricultural inputs, and emergency financial assistance. These programs provide tangible, long-term support to smallholder families and strengthen the local economy through cooperative sustainability.


Colombia Caturra Syrup / Alexander Hernandez has been cultivating Speciality Coffee on his Rainforest certified farm, La Esperanza, since 2007. He works alongside his wife and four children on their 12 hectares of coffee. Alexander’s goal is to improve the quality of his coffee and the infrastructure of La Esperanza farm, in order to improve the quality of life for his family.

The journey of Caturra Syrup begins with a careful selection of ripe coffee cherries. Handpicked cherries undergo a 24-hour aerobic pre-fermentation in their natural state. The cherries are then depulped, separating the coffee beans from their outer layers. The beans then enter an anaerobic fermentation phase, lasting 50 hours in sealed plastic tanks. This controlled environment allows the beans to absorb sugars and organic compounds, intensifying their flavor profile. Drying is achieved on raised beds and mechanical dryers. The final step is a 30-day stabilization period in GrainPro bags. During this time, the coffee’s flavors mature and harmonize, ensuring a well-balanced and refined cup.
