To acknowledge the outstanding quality in the cup, we have chosen to pay 14.00 UDS/KG based on the quality of the coffee from Konyu. We call it a 'quality bonus' so you know the direct impact your coffee choice has on the farmer. Thank you for being a part of this rewarding journey.
We have laid out all the numbers for you in our Transparency Report.
About Konyu
Konyu is located on the slopes of Mount Kenya at an altitude of 1,900 m.a.s.l. in the lush region of Kirinyaga.
The name Konyu comes from a spring located just behind the factory. Local farmers told us the spring has the cleanest mineral water. Together with the Thiba River, which runs along the factory’s perimeter, they have ample water supplies for processing the coffee.
Konyu has 2,771 active members who deliver coffee cherries to the cooperative. These members elect a chairman to lead the factory and a permanent manager to oversee daily operations. The current chairman is Mr Kimau, and the manager is Ms Wamaria.
Due to the high quality of the coffee, farmers at this cooperative have received very good payments in recent years.
