The Ndurutu Washed station is located in the Nyeri coffee region, specifically in the Nyeri Central coffee district.
This Washed station began operating in 1999, consolidating with many producers in the area who delivered their cherries to be processed there. Today there are more than 527 who deliver the production of their farms, located at an altitude of more than 1,700 meters above sea level. In these Farms grow coffee cherries of the Variety SL 28, Batian, Ruiru 11, SL 24 that develop in Clayey soils.
The Washed station in Ndurutu belongs to the Rutuma Cooperative.
Joel Kariuki is the president of the Washed station in Ndurutu, with Jenniffer Murage in charge of the production and reception of the cherries, and Patrik Maina in charge of the Moisture station, together they control the processes that are carried out.
Once the lots are prepared and ready for threshing, they are taken to the Othaya Farmers Cooperative Society’s Dry Mill where they finish preparing the lots.
In Ndurutu’s Washed station we develop Processes such as the Natural Sleeping Bag or the OOTB Anaeronica Natural Sleeping bag among others.
