Named after a palm tree that once grew in the area, Muthuthi-ini Factory is situated in Kenya’s famed Nyeri County. Farmers here, members of the Ruthaka Farmer Cooperative Society (FCS), benefit from rich volcanic soil and ideal growing conditions. This Fully washed AB lot exemplifies the unique flavor profile for which Central Kenya is famed.
Producer members in Ruthaka Factory cultivate primarily SL28, SL34, Batian and Ruiru 11. ‘SL’ varieties are cultivars originally released by Scott Agricultural Laboratories (SAL) in the 1930s and 1940s. They soon became the go-to trees for many growers in Kenya due to their deep root structure, which allows them to maximize scarce water resources and flourish even without irrigation. They are cultivated with a serious eye towards sustainability and Good Agricultural Practices, with minimal environmental impact where possible.
