The Thiririka Farmer's Cooperative Society has three different factories located in Kiganjo, Githembe and Ndundu, all of which are in Kiambu County. The Coop is committed to community development, and has engaged agronomists to assist their farmers to increase productivity and quality.
“Ndundu” is derived from the nearby flowing Thiririka River, and is a local Kikuyu word for “agreement”, representative of the community centric approach to coffee farming. Thiririka FCS also includes two other factories, or washing stations, Kiganjo, and Githembe. Due to its geographical location and highly motivated farmers the Thiririka FCS recognized they have a huge potential for yielding exceptional higher quality coffees.
Known for its distinctive characteristics, high density and vibrant acidity, Kenyan coffee has long been prized as one of the greatest coffee origins there is. Although coffee was first found growing right next door in Ethiopia, it took 500 years and a trip around the world before we saw coffee being cultivated in Kenya.
