Acacias is a selection of the best coffees from the former Central Province, where there is a strong reputation for coffee growing. The cherry is handpicked & delivered to the wet mill the same day, where river water is used for processing & is recirculated before disposal. The coffee is then soaked Kenyan style for 8-16hrs under clean water, bringing clarity to the cup & prolonging acidic qualities. After drying under the sun, all beans are rigorously tested for quality & consistency.

Situated amongst the Aberdare Mountain foothills in the Muranga county are a small collection of 5 factories run by the Kangiri Farmers Cooperative Society. Coffee growers here mainly consist of smallholder farmers, producing cherry from an average half acre plot each, and delivering it to the nearest factory for sorting and quality control. Cherries are washed, soaked and dried for around two weeks on raised beds, before being sorted for both cup profile and bean size.
