Mutwewathi Factory is located in Nyeri County, one of Kenya’s most renowned coffee-producing regions in the Central Highlands, approximately 150 kilometers north of Nairobi. The factory operates under the New Gikaru Farmers Cooperative Society, along with the Ichamara, Kiuu, Kahuro, and Thangathi factories. Established in 1971 during a period of rapid expansion in Kenya’s coffee sector, the wet mill today serves hundreds of smallholder farmers delivering freshly harvested coffee cherries.
Coffee delivered to the Mutwewathi Factory is grown at elevations between 1,700 and 1,800 meters above sea level, providing ideal conditions for slow cherry maturation and the development of complex cup profiles.
Annual rainfall ranges from approximately 1,300 to 1,500 mm, creating stable growing conditions across the season. The combination of altitude, soil fertility, and moderate climate contributes to the vibrant acidity and structure that define Nyeri coffees.
