Gititu Farmers Cooperative is one of the oldest specialty coffee cooperatives in Kenya, established in 1957. In the Kikuyu language, Gititu means ‘a big forest’. The cooperative has several wet mills in the region, including the wet mill of this lot, Ikinu. Ikinu is a small village in Kiambu County, Kenya. Coffee producer members of Gititu from this village have farms that average less than 1 acre.
The cooperative is managed by an elected board of directors and the day to day operations are run by a factory manager. The manager is in charge of member registration, record keeping and processing of the cherries after they are delivered to the factory.

Unlike most other flavored coffee's available, we do not add any additional sugars or sweeteners. You will more than likely have to add a sweetening product to your flavored coffee to enhance the flavor profile to your own individual taste.
