In the central highlands of Kenya's Nyeri County, Aguthi Farmers’ Cooperative Society operates as a key producer of high-quality Arabica coffee, drawing on generations of smallholder farming expertise and ideal agroecological conditions. Located in Tetu district, Aguthi FCS comprises four wet mills (factories): Gititu, Kagumo, Gaaki, and Mungaria, and supports over 2,000 active members.

Among its sites, Gititu Factory consistently produces standout lots that exemplify the complexity and clarity characteristic of Nyeri coffees.

Gititu Factory’s elevation and fertile volcanic soils create optimal conditions for slow cherry maturation, enabling the development of dense, sugar-rich beans. Coffee trees flower from April through June, and the main harvest runs from October to December, with parchment coffee ready for export beginning January.
