Established in 1978, Gachami Factory is a cornerstone of quality within the Baragwi FCS network. Located in Kirinyaga
County, between the slopes of Mt. Kenya and the Mwea rice plains, Gachami processes approximately 150 metric tonnes of
cherry annually from surrounding smallholder farms.
Gachami employs a traditional Kenya-style washed process with double fermentation, utilizing fresh water sourced from
local rivers. This meticulous approach results in a high level of clarity, acidity, and flavor complexity in the cup.
Cherries are hand-harvested, carefully sorted to ensure optimal ripeness, and depulped using an Agaarde disc pulper. Beans
are then graded by density, separating top-quality lots before undergoing the fermentation, washing, and drying stages. The
factory’s location at 1,800 MASL and the region’s fertile volcanic soils provide ideal growing conditions for SL28 and SL34,
with small quantities of other cultivars also present.
