Kenya - Thiriku Cooperative - Small Batch Series (Swiss Water Process)

Our Small Batch Series is a program of limited offerings that features hyper-seasonal, highly traceable, and really really tasty special coffees!

Tasting Notes: Another exceptional example of when you put good stuff in you get good stuff out! If you've never experienced a high-quality Kenyan coffee in the past this is going to highlight what it's all about. We're getting juicy Black Currant notes up front followed by ripe nectarine, when we say nectarine imagine that crisp acidity and sweetness you get. So good. The whole cup is carried by a black tea base which just carries those fruits so well!

The Thiriku Farmers Cooperative Society stands as a beacon of excellence and innovation in coffee production. Amid the financial challenges that plague central Kenyan coffee producers—ranging from escalating production costs to predatory lending and pervasive corruption—Thiriku shines as a model of success. Boasting over 1,000 dedicated members, this cooperative, in collaboration with the importer Trabocca, has managed to command higher prices for their exquisite coffee cherries. This strategic partnership has not only stabilized finances but has also enhanced agricultural practices under the stewardship of Trabocca’s expert agronomists.

As productivity improves, so does sustainability, making coffee cultivation a viable long-term pursuit for the cooperative’s members. We are thrilled to offer this extraordinary decaf coffee, which stands out in the region for its delightful acidity and profound flavor depth. Experience the exceptional—this decaf not only promises a superior taste but also embodies the spirit of resilience and quality of the Thiriku farmers.
