◉About production and processing facilities|Karatina factory
The Karatina factory is one of the factories owned by the Barichu Agricultural Cooperative. 1,450 small-scale producers use the plant to ship cherries.
The area is covered with volcanic soil rich in minerals and organic matter, suitable for coffee production. In cool climates year-round, coffee berries need time to accumulate nutrients and be ready for harvest. The cherries are purified with fresh water from the Lagati River and then dried in the sun on African beds.

One of their jobs is to establish an education system for coffee farmers on agricultural techniques, fertilizers, planting methods, etc. In particular, supporting producers and protecting the environment and nature are among their themes.
In terms of support to producers, we provide financial support for emergency situations such as tuition and investment in agricultural products, and we also actively provide support in agricultural training and fertilization. In recent years, the national environmental awareness has been increasing. We actively protect the environment and set up special drainage pits to filter wastewater generated during the oil refining process.

In addition, we encourage every producer to plant trees other than coffee to protect the natural environment.

We believe that each of their tasks improves the yield and quality of coffee for local producers, brings profits to the producers themselves, and results in stable profits and environmentally sustainable coffee production.

About LiLo Coffee Roasters

LiLo Coffee Roasters was founded in 2014. The person who has planned everything about the store since its founding is Keita Nakamura, who currently serves as the chief roaster. There are 24 types of coffee beans in the LiLo coffee menu. Of course, there are price differences among various items, but there is no special focus, and every type of beans is treated equally.

At the end of his 20s, Nakamura wandered into a tea shop and drank coffee after work, which led Nakamura into another world. The gorgeous aroma of Ethiopia and the sweet and sour taste like fruit spread in your mouth. After learning about the diversity of coffee flavors, Nakamura began taking courses and extracting hand-roasted coffee beans at home, immersing himself even more in the world of coffee.

When he established LiLo in 2014, Nakamura did everything by himself, from roasting to extracting coffee in the store and receiving customers. I will stay at the factory (roastery) on weekdays, and on Saturdays I will stay at Roasters. LiLo Coffee Roasters was also selected as one of "The 50 Best Coffee Shops in Asia" by the internationally renowned travel website Big 7 Travel.
