Gathaithi Farmer's Cooperative Society was registered under the cooperative society act of 2000. It was formerly part of the Giant Tetu Coffee Farmers Society. This cooperative has only one factory - Gathaithi Coffee Factory. Currently, it has 1,656 active members.
Harvesting is carried out by careful hand selection when the coffee cherries are perfectly ripe and is delivered to the Gathaithi wet mill the very same day. Cherry sorting is carried out to ensure only the very best cherries are used and inferior quality cherries are removed.
After pulping, the coffee is fermented overnight to break down the sugars, before traveling through channels to the soaking tank where the coffee is carefully cleaned, soaked and spread out on the raised drying tables. This coffee has sweet notes of Blackcurrant, Nectarine and Lemon.
