ABOUT THE WASHING STATION
The Gititu Wet Mill has not been operating for very long, especially when compared to neighboring mills. Beginning its operation from 2022, however, has not held this factory back from stamping itself in place as a mill celebrating phenomenal specialty coffee.
In its few years of operation, production has increased, and the team have been granted awards for great quality coffees. Now, the work is not entirely down to processing - the land in Kenya truly does favour growth of healthy, sturdy, dense cherries from thriving coffee trees. The soils are vibrantly red in colour due to the high phosphorous content thanks to the nearby dormant volcano of Mount Kenya. Combine these rich and healthy soils with great natural drainage, stable average temperature and reliable rainfall, and the Nyeri County in Kenya results in a holistically wonderful climate to cultivate coffee trees.
Pairing nicely with the healthy terroir is the attentive work of the team at the Gititu Wet Mill, processing traditionally washed and natural lots where the clarity is clear, the flavours are vibrant, and the balance is round. No wonder we have found some great options this harvest from this coffee factory.
Some of the farmers who supply cherries here are represented by the Aguthi Farmers Cooperative Society. The number of farmers working together here total 324, of which 111 are women. Between them, they harvest from over 58,000 trees across over 107 acres.

Walk through "Little Things Cafe" you will find your order to the right as you enter the roastery gates on a black steel shelf with your name/# stickered on your parcel.
Place your order, then give us some time to roast and pack for you (usually less than two business days).
Once received ready for pickup notification, come in, check in, and say hi to either Matty or Po.
Can you grind my coffee?
Sorry, we sell whole beans only.
The reason being is that pre-grinding freshly roasted coffee means that it affects the integrity of the coffee and this makes the coffee expire a lot faster. It's like having artisan bread being pre-sliced or a piece of fruit being left out in the sun!
