Thunguri Coffee Factory is located at the junction of Kirinyaga and Nyeri districts, close to Karatina town. Thunguri means "wet mill" or "factory" in Kenyan. It belongs to the Kibirigi Producers Association, founded in 1953, and consists of eight other coffee factories outside Thunguri: Lagati, Ngguini, Mukangu, Kiangai, Kibingoti, Thunguri, Kianjege and Cema. The current membership is 6,888, including 4,861 women and 2,027 men. The total number of coffee trees in the Kibirigi Growers Association is 1,722,000, and the association is governed by nine elected officials. At the Thunguri Coffee Factory, hand-picked and carefully selected just in time, the cherries are transported to the wet grinder on the day of harvest. In the wet mill, cherries are sorted before pulping, separating red ripe cherries from unripe, overripe and foreign matter. The treated water used in the refining process comes from the nearby Kangocho River, and we are working to purify the wastewater generated during the refining process and return it to the soil. After careful fermentation and cleaning in traditional fermentation tanks, the wine is carefully dried in the sun on African beds.

About Mel Coffee Roasters

Located in Nishi-ku Shinmachi, just a few minutes' walk from Osaka's Shinsaibashi, you can already smell the aroma of coffee as you step onto the street. There is a coffee shop here that is only over 100 square feet. It was selected as the 3rd place in "The 50 Best Coffee Shops In The World" and the 2nd place in "The 50 Best Coffee Shops in Asia" by the internationally renowned travel website Big 7 Travel. A small shop called Mel Coffee Roasters. There are no seats in the store, only refurbished 1968 Probat L5 and 1960 UG15 roasters and a bar. If you want to come here and enjoy a cup of high-quality coffee, you can only sit on the two long benches outside the door to check in and taste it. However, although there are few seats, there is definitely a lot of quality and human touch!
Foreign travel website Big 7 Travel mentioned that Mel’s coffee has a roasted flavor from Melbourne... Once you try its coffee, you are destined to be unable to live without it in your life, because this is the best coffee destination in Asia. Mel’s boss Masahiko Fumimoto and his wife both worked in Melbourne, Australia. When Masahiko Fumimoto was living in Australia, he was amazed by a cup of latte from Brother Baba Budan, a famous store in Melbourne. The fragrant taste made him unforgettable, and he was deeply attracted by the coffee. Attracted by everything, I entered the field of coffee.
