For a few years the Muriuki’s sold their coffee to a co-operative, which is the usual practice for coffee farmers in Kenya. However after working so hard on the quality and care of his coffee, Julius felt sad that all of his effort would be ruined by blending his coffee with upto 1000 other farmers into homogenized lots. He decided along with Edith to try and sell their coffee to a single buyer and look to begin developing a long term relationship with Five Elephant. 
At Five Elephant we are firmly committed to a long term partnership with the Muriuki’s and are currently commissioning new raised drying beds with shade to further showcase the incredible work the Mariuki's do on their farm.
