Decaf Kenya Mutheka Othaya

Decaf Kenya Mutheka Othaya is a blend of two exceptional coffees from Kenya’s renowned Nyeri region—celebrated for its bright, fruity, and dynamic flavor profiles, grown in the fertile volcanic soils near Mount Kenya. This decaf offering is a tribute to the craftsmanship of the producers and the commitment of the Mutheka and Othaya cooperative societies they belong to.

The Mutheka Cooperative Society consists of seven factories and nearly 5,000 smallholder farmers. This particular lot comes from the Kigwandi Factory, which serves 842 producers—each typically managing around 200 coffee trees. Through cooperative decision-making, the society promotes equitable profit-sharing and supports sustainable farming practices across the community.

Established in 1979, the Rukira Factory is part of the Othaya Farmers’ Cooperative Society, one of Kenya’s largest and most influential producer groups. The society encompasses 19 factories and over 14,000 members. Of the 800 members at Rukira, approximately 600 are active coffee farmers, each contributing an average of 30 kilograms per harvest. Similar to Mutheka, the Othaya Cooperative ensures a fair distribution of profits among its members and promotes sustainable farming practices.

Together, these two coffees represent not just exceptional quality, but the strength of community and cooperation at the heart of Kenya’s evolving specialty coffee landscape.
