The Cooperative model continues with Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Societies (AMCOS), including Rural Cooperative Societies (RCS), working with producers, and Cooperative Unions being licensed to handle the exporting as well as larger Estates. Around 90% of coffee is produced by smallholder farmers with less than 1 hectare, with around 110 Estates growing the other 10%.
This coffee is a blend, and was named Mbili Twiga to reflect this coming together. Mbili Twiga translates as two giraffes.
This coffee is a blend of washed coffee from farmers in the Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions. Cherries are picked and brought whole to the washing station where they are washed and undergo a fermentation of around 40 hours before more washing and soaking. Beans are dried on raised beds.
