More information about our The Rungeto Farmers Coop collection.

Rungeto represents a model of collective farming strength. Multiple farmers across Kenya's high-altitude regions bring their coffee to the coop for processing and export, gaining access to resources and markets they couldn't access individually. The coop's work matters. Clean processing, consistent standards, and fair compensation all flow from the coop's commitment to their members.

The coffees from Rungeto carry the quality mark of cooperative work. They're processed with care, handled with respect, and represent the collective skill of farmers who've been growing coffee for generations.

Currently available is Rungeto's washed peaberry, bringing concentrated flavor and bright Kenyan acidity from their cooperative members' farms.
