＜Story＞

Kalindundu Factory was established in 1985 under the Masira Producers Union, and has been affiliated with the Balichu Producers Union since 1996. Balichu Producers Union is a producers' union in Masira district, and has four factories in addition to Kalindundu: Karatina, Gatomboya, and Gatulili. The union actively supports producers, providing assistance to farmers for school fees, investment in agricultural products, and other emergency funds. It has also actively provided support for agricultural training and fertilization.

This follow-up has ensured consistent yields and quality every year, and the coffee from each factory of the Barichu Producers Association is known around the world as one of the best factories in Nyeri.

The Kalindundu Factory is located on the ridge between Mount Kenya to the northeast and Aberdare to the west and benefits from fertile red volcanic soils that are prized for their bright acidity, body and cassis-like flavours.

Currently, 520 producers living in five surrounding villages use the Kalindundu Factory, and the coffee cherries that are carefully harvested by hand are pulped, washed, and dried here. Water for pulping is pumped from the nearby Tagati River using an electric pump under recyclable equipment, and the coffee is treated in four pulpers and five soaking pools.

In addition to coffee, neighboring farmers also grow tea, corn, bananas, and horticultural plants, and use eucalyptus and macadamia trees as shade trees to produce coffee. The main harvest season is from October to January, and each farmer carefully hand-picks the cherries that grow on the approximately 200 coffee trees they grow, judging the ripeness of the cherries, and brings them to the factory.
