About
The Ngurueri wet mill was built in the late 1968 and lies 1760M above sea level on the expansive slopes of the Mt Kenya region.
Ngurueri now has almost 1,500 smallholder farmers and is one of four washing stations, that form the Murue Farmer’s Cooperative Society among Kavuturi, Gituara
and Kianyangi,.
It is located in a strategic position within the main coffee growing zone.
Processing at the Ngurueri wet mill adheres to stringent quality-driven methods. All coffee cherries are handpicked and are delivered to the mill the same day, where they undergo meticulous sorting.
Factory employees oversee the process and any under ripe or damaged cherries will not be accepted by the ‘Cherry Clerk’ – one of the most important harvest-period staff, who keeps meticulous records of how much coffee each producer delivers on any given day (and thus how much payment is due once the coffee has sold).
Any rejected coffee will have to be taken home again, and the farmer will need to find a place to dry it (often a tarp in the yard) to be delivered only at the end of season as low quality ‘Mbuni’ – natural process coffee that earns a very low price.
Thus, farmer members are incentivised to only pick and deliver the ripest cherry that they can.
