Kenya Thunguri comes from a community of small-scale specialty coffee farmers in Nyeri County, Kenya. This community was established in 1979 by farmers who previously had to trek over 10 km to reach the nearest factory. Since then, Thunguri has grown considerably! In 2022, the factory produced 94,361.5 kg of cherry and is made up of a total of 425 farmers.

At the Thunguri Estate, the cherries are hand-sorted and dried under natural sunlight on raised beds with frequent turning. During this stage, the coffee develops its characteristic natural red wine flavors with fruity, sweet, and honey notes. After drying, the cherries are taken to the dry mill for milling, bagging, and export.
